- Description
- The VDA file format, short for Targa Bitmap Image File, is a variant of the TGA file format (Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter) used for storing digital images. Developed by Truevision Inc., VDA files are raster graphics files that support various color depths, ranging from 1 to 32 bits per pixel, which includes support for alpha channels and compression. This format is designed to be highly flexible and is capable of storing high-quality images used in video editing and animations.
- The XWD (X Windows Dump) image file format is a native graphic format associated with the X Window System, which is a windowing system for bitmap displays commonly used in UNIX and Linux environments. An XWD file is essentially a dump or snapshot of what is being displayed on a screen or part of it at a given moment. It stores image data in an uncompressed form, including the header information that contains details about the image's size, color, and format.
