- Description
- The BM file type, associated with X11 Bitmap, is a monochrome bitmap image format used on the X Window System, which is commonly found on Unix and Unix-like operating systems. It stores black-and-white images in a plain text format, where each pixel is represented as either on (black) or off (white). These files are often used for simple icons and cursors within the X11 graphical user interface. Due to its simplicity and text-based nature, BM files can be easily edited with standard text editors.
- A JPEG file is an image saved in a compressed graphic format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It supports up to 24-bit color and is compressed using lossy compression, which may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. JPEG files are commonly used for storing digital photos and web graphics.
