FARBFELD to XV Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Farbfeld Lossless Image and XV Thumbnail exist for different jobs: Farbfeld is the suckless lossless image format — a tiny 16-byte header then uncompressed 16-bit RGBA, trivially parseable in any language with zero dependencies. Convert to XV thumbnails for legacy UNIX galleries.
This converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device, nothing is uploaded, and there are no watermarks, sign-ups or queues. Drop in several files at once to convert them as a batch.

Frequently asked questions
Is this FARBFELD to XV converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Will I lose quality converting FARBFELD to XV?
No — XV is a lossless format, so every pixel of the converted image matches your original FARBFELD file. You can also adjust the quality/size balance before converting when the target format supports compression.
Will transparent areas survive the conversion to XV?
Transparency is kept whenever XV actually supports an alpha channel. If the target format has none (like JPG), transparent areas are flattened onto a white background — that is a property of the format, not of this tool.
Can I convert several FARBFELD files at once?
Yes — drop as many files as you like into the tool and they are converted in one batch. When more than one file comes out, everything is bundled into a ZIP for a single download.
