- 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 TIF file is an image file saved in a high-quality graphics format. It is often used for storing images with many colors, typically digital photos, and includes support for layers and multiple pages.
