Format Details
XBM
XBM (X BitMap) is a monochrome raster image format native to the X Window System, used on Unix-like operating systems. Uniquely, it stores bitmap data as a C language source code array, making it directly includable in C programs without any parsing library. XBM is primarily used for small monochrome icons and cursor bitmaps in X11 applications, though it is rarely encountered outside of this ecosystem.
AVIF
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format based on the AV1 video codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media. It delivers superior compression efficiency compared to JPEG and PNG, often reducing file sizes by 50% or more while maintaining excellent visual quality. AVIF supports HDR, wide color gamut, and transparency, making it an ideal choice for the modern web.
