RAW

The RAW image format captures unprocessed data from digital cameras, providing photographers with high-quality images and maximum editing flexibility. Unlike JPEGs, RAW files retain more detail and dynamic range, making them ideal for professional editing. Perfect for those who prioritize image fidelity, RAW files can be converted to JPEG or TIFF for easy sharing while maintaining the integrity of the original shot.

XBM

XBM (X Bitmap) is a monochrome image format primarily used in X Window System applications. It stores images in plain text as C header files, allowing easy integration into programs. Ideal for representing simple graphics in a lightweight manner, XBM files are efficient for tasks requiring minimal memory and processing power, making them suitable for retro gaming and embedded systems.
