Format Details
XPM
XPM (X PixMap) is a color extension of the XBM format, also native to the X Window System on Unix-like operating systems. Like XBM, it stores pixel color data as a C source code array using a color name table, but supports multiple indexed colors per pixel. XPM is commonly used for small color icons in X11-based desktop environments and GUI toolkits such as GTK and Motif.
GIF
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is one of the most recognized image formats on the internet, developed by CompuServe in 1987. It supports up to 256 colors per frame and lossless LZW compression, and is famous for its animation capability, making it ideal for simple looping clips and reaction images. GIF remains enormously popular for sharing short animations and memes across social media and messaging platforms.
