XBM at a glance
XBM
Before today's relatively small set of mainstream consumer image formats dominated everyday use, desktop software, workstations, GUI systems, and early graphics tools produced many specialized raster formats with local importance.
JPS at a glance
JPS
JPS belongs to the period when consumer 3D displays, cameras, and media players experimented with stereo-photo conventions built on ordinary JPEG assets instead of inventing entirely new everyday imaging stacks.

FAQs
Why convert XBM to JPS?
Convert to JPS when preserving stereoscopic photo pairs, preparing side-by-side 3D images for compatible viewers, or maintaining archives from cameras and displays that used the JPEG Stereo convention.
It is mainly useful for legacy stereoscopic-image exchange rather than mainstream still-image publishing.
What changes when converting XBM to JPS?
This conversion changes how the format behaves in downstream tools and delivery environments.
Moving to JPS adds layer support. Moving to JPS adds vector scaling. Moving to JPS adds streaming delivery.
What should I review after converting XBM to JPS?
Validate output quality on representative files and confirm the target format behaves correctly in the destination workflow.
