Convert FPX to XPM

The FPX file extension stands for FlashPix Format, a bitmap image format developed in 1996 by Kodak, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, and Live Picture. It was designed to handle large image files efficiently by storing images at multiple resolutions within a single file, allowing quick access to the appropriate resolution based on display requirements. FlashPix uses Microsoft's structured storage format, which organizes hierarchical data in a single file. This format was particularly useful for digital photography and imaging applications, optimizing storage and bandwidth usage.

The XPM (X PixMap) file extension is a format used for storing pixmap images, primarily in the X Window System for Unix-based systems. Developed in the late 1980s, it allows for the storage of images in plain text, making it human-readable and editable. XPM files are mainly utilized for defining icons and graphical elements in software applications. They support transparency and can be easily integrated into programming languages such as C, enhancing the customization and visual appeal of user interfaces. The format's simplicity and flexibility have cemented its role in software development and graphical design.
