- Description
- The Ximage (XIM) file format is primarily associated with images created or processed within certain graphics software applications, particularly those related to the X Window System, a windowing system for bitmap displays commonly used with UNIX and Linux environments. XIM files store image data in a format that can be easily rendered or manipulated by applications that support this format. This can include color, bitmap, and possibly layer information depending on the specifics of the software used. The format is specifically designed to facilitate the exchange and manipulation of graphical images across applications and platforms that utilize the X Window System.
- A JPG file is an image saved in a compressed image format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It is commonly used for storing digital photos and used by most digital cameras to save images. JPG files are among the most common image files along with .PNG, .TIF, and .GIF.
