What is an XBM file?
XBM (X BitMap) is a monochrome bitmap format originally designed for the X Window System. Uniquely, XBM files are actually C source code files that define an array of bytes.
While largely replaced by modern formats, XBM is still used in some embedded systems and legacy X11 applications. Our Online XBM Viewer renders these files for you.
