| File extension | .XWD |
| Category | Image File |
| Description | XWD (X Windows Dump Image) is an uncompressed raster image file format associated with X Windows System. The format is intended for creating screen dumps (screenshots). Created by the XWD client, an XWD image displays the entire background window. XWD files support a vast color palette, but the exact number of colors depends on the type of video card. Because XWD files do not use compression, they are large in size and therefore not suitable to sharing. The format is supported by Corel PaintShop Pro X7, XnViewMP, GIMP, Newera Graphics Converter Pro, etc. |

| File extension | .PNG |
| Category | Image File |
| Description | PNG images provide lossless compression, that is why the quality of the picture is nice, but the size of the file is huge. Because of it this file format is used by photographers. PNG may have several layers of transparency and even include short text descriptions which help search engines to examine the file. Although PNG was developed to replace GIF and partly other formats, it doesn’t support animation since it can’t contain several images like GIF. |
