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.
