Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support Type 1 Image (.cal)

The CAL file extension, known as CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image, is a 1-bit black-and-white raster image format developed by the U.S. Department of Defense in the mid-1980s to standardize graphics data interchange for military documentation. It is primarily used for storing and sharing monochrome images while retaining orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images.

X Windows Dump Image (.xwd)

The XWD file extension signifies an uncompressed bitmap format utilized within the X Window System for UNIX and Linux environments. This format is adept at capturing GUI screenshots, from individual windows to the entire desktop, ensuring high fidelity. However, the uncompressed nature of XWD leads to larger files, which may be suboptimal for web deployment.
