xwd
| Extension | .xwd |
| Category | 🔵 images |
| Description | 🔵 XWD (X Window Dump) is a bitmap image format used to store screen captures or screenshots taken from an X Window System server. It is a simple format that stores pixel data, width and height of the image, the number of bits per pixel, and the byte order of the machine that generated the dump. |
| Technical details | 🔵 XWD files are binary files that store image data in a raw format. They can be compressed using standard algorithms like gzip. The format also allows for storing additional information such as window and screen IDs, timestamps, and more. XWD files can be viewed using various image viewers and editors that support the format, or they can be converted to other popular image formats using conversion software. |

| Description | 🔵 The PCX file format was developed by ZSoft Corporation, with the first release of the .pcx extension entering the public domain in 1985. PCX stands for PiCture eXchange, and it was the first file format to support bitmap images. During its heyday, PCX was the go-to format on computers running DOS and Windows operating systems. However, the popularity of the PCX format has waned in favor of more modern and standard image formats like JPG, PNG, and GIF. The most recent release of the PCX file format was in 1991, and as a result, the decline in its usage has unfortunately left ZSoft Corp in a state of dormancy. |
| Technical details | 🔵 As the first of its kind, the PCX format was widely used during its peak, mainly because of its support for bitmap images. A standard PCX file consists of three primary components: a 128-byte header, the actual image data, and a 256-color palette to ensure vibrant display. One of the reasons PCX was popular for pictures in the 1980s was its low processing power requirement for data compression. Given the limited processing power of PCs at the time, PCX helped conserve resources for other essential tasks. |
