- 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 TIFF file is a graphics container that stores raster images. It may contain high-quality graphics that support color depths from 1 to 24-bit and supports both lossy and lossless compression. TIFF files also support multiple layers and pages.
