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.
PNG
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a widely-used lossless raster image format created as an open, patent-free alternative to GIF. It supports 24-bit color, full 8-bit alpha channel transparency, and highly efficient lossless compression. PNG is the preferred format for images with sharp edges, text overlays, logos, and any content where pixel-perfect lossless quality is essential, and it is universally supported in every browser and application.
