What's the difference between BDF and PCF?

BDF Bitmap Font is bitmap distribution format for x window system fonts. PCF Bitmap Font is portable compiled format — compiled x window bitmap font. Key difference: BDF Bitmap Font excels at simple text-based bitmap font format, while PCF Bitmap Font offers faster loading than BDF due to precompiled binary format.

How does the BDF to PCF conversion work technically?

Xonvert uses WebAssembly-compiled libraries to decode your BDF file in-browser, process the font data, and re-encode it as PCF. All processing happens on your device's CPU.

What happens to my files after conversion?

Nothing — your files exist only in your browser's memory during conversion. Once you close the page, all data is cleared. No files are stored anywhere.

Will the conversion strip my EXIF or metadata?

Xonvert preserves metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3, etc.) when the target PCF format supports it. You can optionally strip metadata in the settings for smaller, cleaner output files.

Does the conversion preserve metadata?

Xonvert preserves compatible metadata fields when converting between formats. Some format-specific metadata may not carry over if the target format doesn't support it.
