Dynapik offers a free online tool to change image types - no need to download anything. It's quick and easy to use. You can change your XBM images to ICB format. This tool works for both professionals and casual users. Convert your images to ICB in seconds.
X BitMap
Images written as C source code.
XBM (X BitMap) is a unique image format that is actually a valid snippet of C source code. It defines an array of bytes representing a monochrome bitmap. Because it is code, it can be compiled directly into an application binary, which made it the standard for X11 icons and cursors.
An XBM file contains `#define` statements for width and height, and a static array of unsigned chars: `static unsigned char image_bits[] = { 0x00, 0xFF, ... };`. It supports only 1-bit color (black and white). Transparency works by defining a mask.
The original format for X Window System bitmaps (X10/X11). Used extensively in the 90s for the early World Wide Web (Mosaic browser) before GIF/JPEG took over.
Targa ICB
A legacy extension for Targa images created by Truevision ICB boards.
The ICB file extension is functionally identical to the standard TGA (Truevision Targa) format. It was specifically used to denote images created by or for the Truevision Image Capture Board (ICB). Like standard TGA files, it supports simpler raster data with optional RLE compression and alpha transparency.
An ICB file respects the TGA 2.0 specification. It contains a header defining image dimensions and pixel depth, followed by pixel data. The pixel data can be uncompressed or RLE-compressed. It supports bit depths of 8, 16, 24, and 32 bits. In 32-bit mode, 8 bits are dedicated to an alpha channel, which was a pioneering feature for video overlay graphics.
Truevision (now part of Avid) introduced the Targa video boards for IBM PC-compatibles in the 1980s. To distinguish files created by different hardware models, they used specific extensions: .tga (generic), .icb (Image Capture Board), .vda (Video Display Adapter), and .vst (Video Super TarGA). Modern software treats them all as standard TGA files.
