- 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 WEBP file is an image saved in the WebP (pronounced "Weppy") raster image format developed by Google for web graphics. It is designed to reduce image file sizes over standard JPEG compression while maintaining the same or similar quality. WEBP files allow images to be downloaded more quickly.
