お気に入りの漫画のワンシーンを、あえてモノクロのレトロな風合いで表現したい。あるいは、ビジネス文書に組み込むシンプルなアイコンを、ファイルサイズを極限まで抑えて作成したい。そんな時、JPEGからXBMへの変換が役立ちます。XBMは、Web初期の限られた環境で生まれた画像フォーマットで、色は白と黒の2色のみ、圧縮はされませんが、そのシンプルさゆえに、非常に軽量で、プログラミングコードに直接埋め込むことも可能です。現代の豊かな色彩表現とは一線を画すものの、その独特の表現力は、特定の用途において今なお価値を発揮します。このページでは、お手持ちのJPEG画像を、シンプルながらも個性的なXBM形式へと変換するお手伝いをいたします。
- ウェブサイトの高速表示用アイコン
- 組み込みシステム向けモノクロ画像
- レトロゲーム風グラフィック素材
日本では、携帯電話のモノクロ液晶時代に、XBMのような白黒2値画像の需要が一時的に高まりました。また、プログラマーがコードに直接画像を記述する際に、そのシンプルさから利用されるケースもあります。
About JPEG to XBM Conversion
Short answer: yes, you can convert JPEG to XBM online for free, and quality is well preserved with the right settings. Just upload your .jpeg file to CocoConvert, pick XBM as the output, and click Convert. The whole process takes seconds.
Now for the details. JPEG uses lossy compression optimised for photographic content, balancing quality against file size. XBM is a widely used file format. Converting between these two formats lets you convert between formats quickly.
Your JPEG file is decoded and re-encoded as XBM. Converting JPEG to XBM maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings.
CocoConvert runs entirely online — no software to install, no account to create. Your files are encrypted during upload (TLS), processed on isolated servers in Germany, and permanently deleted after 24 hours. It works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and all mobile browsers.
Need to convert more than one file? Free users can do 5 per hour. Pro gets 100 per hour with files up to 5 GB each.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is JPEG to XBM conversion free?
Yes. CocoConvert offers free JPEG to XBM conversion with generous daily limits — 25 minutes of processing time and up to 5 files per hour (250 MB each). Pro plans remove these limits.
How fast is JPEG to XBM conversion?
Most files convert in 2–10 seconds depending on size. Large image files may take 30 seconds. Batch jobs process in parallel for maximum speed.
What happens to my files after conversion?
Your uploaded JPEG file and the converted XBM file are both automatically deleted from our servers within 24 hours. They are never shared, sold, or analysed.
Does converting JPEG to XBM lose quality?
Converting JPEG to XBM maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings.
Can I convert XBM back to JPEG?
Yes, CocoConvert supports XBM to JPEG conversion as well. However, if the original conversion involved lossy compression, converting back won't recover the lost data.
Versions are pinned in our worker Dockerfile and re-built via CI on every change.
