About formats

XC (X window Color) is a procedural pseudo-format built into ImageMagick, the open-source image processing suite originally created by John Cristy at DuPont and first released on August 1, 1990. Rather than reading pixel data from a file, the XC format generates a solid-color canvas of specified dimensions, filled with a single uniform color value. The color can be specified using any of ImageMagick's supported color specification methods: named X11 colors (red, dodgerblue, linen), hex triplets (#FF6600), RGB/RGBA functional notation (rgb(255,102,0)), HSL, CMYK, or any other supported color space representation. XC canvases are created through ImageMagick's command-line interface using the special colon syntax (e.g., convert -size 800x600 xc:navy output.png) and serve as foundational building blocks in ImageMagick's compositing and image construction workflows. Common uses include creating background layers for compositing operations, generating masks and mattes of specific colors, initializing canvases for drawing operations, producing test images for pipeline validation, and creating placeholder images for web and application development. One advantage is workflow integration: XC canvases feed directly into ImageMagick's processing pipeline, enabling operations like gradient overlays, text rendering onto colored backgrounds, or template generation without requiring any input file. The pseudo-format's support for ImageMagick's complete color specification system is another strength — any color expressible in any supported color space can be used, including semi-transparent colors via RGBA notation, making XC a versatile primitive for programmatic image construction.

JPS (JPEG Stereo) is a stereoscopic 3D image format that stores a left-eye and right-eye view pair within a single JPEG-compressed file, developed by VRex, Inc. around 1997 for use with stereoscopic displays and viewers. A JPS file is technically a standard JPEG file containing a side-by-side stereo pair — the left and right perspective images are placed horizontally adjacent within a single frame, with the full image width being twice the individual view width. The file uses standard JPEG compression and can be opened by any JPEG-compatible viewer (which will show the side-by-side pair as a single wide image), but stereo-aware applications parse the image into its left and right components for proper 3D presentation. JPS files can be viewed with dedicated stereoscopic software, anaglyph viewers (generating red-cyan images for colored glasses), autostereoscopic displays, VR headsets, and hardware like NVIDIA 3D Vision or passive 3D monitors. The format gained renewed interest with the consumer 3D photography boom of the late 2000s and early 2010s, when cameras like the Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W1/W3 captured stereo pairs natively. One advantage is backward compatibility: because JPS uses standard JPEG encoding, the files work with existing JPEG infrastructure — they can be transmitted, stored, thumbnailed, and even viewed (as flat side-by-side images) without any special software. The format's simplicity is another practical strength — no specialized container or codec is required, and any tool that can crop and display JPEG images can extract individual views. JPS files are supported by StereoPhoto Maker, ImageMagick, and various 3D photo viewers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert XC to JPS?

Converting XC to JPS lets you save generated solid color canvases as actual image files — JPS is widely recognized and easy to share.

How do I open JPS files?

JPS files open in stereo image viewers and standard JPEG viewers — widely supported across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms.

Can I convert multiple XC files at once?

Upload as many XC files as you need. Every file processes independently and delivers its own JPS output.

Do I need to install anything?

Nothing to install. The converter operates entirely online in your browser — no plugins, extensions, or software.

Is XC to JPS conversion accurate?

Yes — the conversion engine renders XC content precisely into JPS format, retaining visual accuracy throughout.

Is my XC data kept private?

Convertio deletes uploaded XC files immediately after conversion. JPS outputs are automatically purged within 24 hours.
