How to Convert a PSD File to XPM

How to Convert a PSD File to XPM thumbnail
Photoshop is the most popular professional application for creating and editing digital images.

The PSD (Photoshop Document) container format is an extremely common raster image file type designed for use with Adobe System's professional graphics editor Photoshop. The XPM (X11 Pixmap Graphic) is another common raster image typically used in the X Windows system for data storage. Due to the typically small size of XPM files, the easiest method for converting PSD to XPM is by using a free online converter.

      Find the "Upload" or "Select File" button.

    • 3

      Choose "PSD" or "Adobe Photoshop" as your file type.

    • 4

      Locate the PSD file on your hard drive in the pop-up menu.

    • 5

      Verify that the website recognizes the file type by reselecting "PSD" or "Adobe Photoshop" in the file type menu.

    • 6

      Select your operating system.

    • 7

      Select "XPM" or "X Windows System Bitmap" as your output file type.

    • 8

      Click "Convert" or "Begin" to start the file conversion. Once the conversion is complete, the new XPM file will appear on your desktop.

Tips & Warnings

  • The file conversion should complete rather quickly on any sort of connection other than a dial-up. Still, it's recommended that you use a fast connection and cease other Internet activity when performing online file conversion.
