- Description
- The X11 file type, associated with the X Windows System, is a format designed to contain screen or window dumps (screenshots) from the X Window System, a windowing system for bitmap displays common on UNIX-like operating systems. These dumps are essentially captures of the graphical output of applications running within the X environment, saved in a format that can be viewed or analyzed later. The X Window System serves as the foundational graphical interface for many Linux and UNIX systems, facilitating a wide range of graphical applications. X11 files enable users to save and share the state of a graphical interface at a specific point in time, useful for documentation, debugging, or graphic design purposes.
- 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.
