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.
The PNM (Portable Any Map Image) file format is a subset of the broader Netpbm format, designed for storing various types of digital images. It acts as an umbrella term for three specific types of grayscale, color, and black-and-white images, represented by PBM (Portable Bitmap), PGM (Portable Graymap), and PPM (Portable Pixmap) formats respectively. PNM files are known for their simplicity and ease of conversion to other image formats.
