Utah Run-Length Encoded Bitmap (.rle)

The RLE (Run-Length Encoded) file extension, associated with the Utah Raster Toolkit, is a lossless image compression format used primarily for 4 or 8-bit bitmap images. Developed at the University of Utah, it employs run-length encoding to compress data by reducing consecutive repeated values, making it efficient for simple graphics like icons and line drawings. Historically, it was widely used in early versions of Windows and CompuServe software.

X11 Bitmap Graphic (.xbm)

The XBM (X11 Bitmap Graphic) file extension is a plain-text binary file format historically used in the X Window System to store monochrome bitmap images. Its primary use is for defining small, simple graphics such as icons and cursors. Originating from the 1980s, XBM files enable the inclusion of image data directly in C source code, facilitating easy integration and compilation within applications. While their use has declined with the advent of more advanced graphics formats, XBMs remain relevant for legacy systems and specific low-resource environments.
