Convert XBM to JPE

The XBM (X11 Bitmap Graphic) file extension is a plain-text binary file format historically used in the X Window System to store monochrome bitmap images. Its primary use is for defining small, simple graphics such as icons and cursors. Originating from the 1980s, XBM files enable the inclusion of image data directly in C source code, facilitating easy integration and compilation within applications. While their use has declined with the advent of more advanced graphics formats, XBMs remain relevant for legacy systems and specific low-resource environments.

The JPE file extension stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. It is a widely used image format known for its efficient compression and high quality, making it ideal for digital photography and web use. Originating in the late 1980s, the JPE format was developed to enable the effective storage and transmission of photographic images. Its primary purpose is to reduce file size without significantly compromising image quality, thereby optimizing storage and facilitating faster file transfers in computer technology contexts.
