An XPM file describes image data through ASCII text arranged in a plain-text Standard C character string pattern, which allows for easy and convenient editing. Thanks to compact file size, XPM files are easily transmitted via email. XPM is supported by many applications, including, but not limited to: CorelDRAW, Amaya, GIMP, ImageMagic, PaintShop Pro, etc. |

Description | Designed by CompuServe even before JPG GIF file format displays indexed-color graphics. It is a simple illustration with maximum 256 colors. That is why it is great for the web, logos and icons also are saved in GIF format. There is one more reason for that: GIF preserves transparence. You can put an icon or a logo above another image, and the borders of the first one won’t be seen. Above all GIF supports animation, which is a widely spread technique among the designers. |
