X Windows Dump Image (.xwd)

The XWD (X Windows Dump) file extension refers to an uncompressed bitmap image format used by the X Window System to store screen captures or "screen dumps" of windows or backgrounds. Developed by the X Consortium, it captures images of graphical user interfaces on UNIX and Linux platforms. The format, originating with X10 and later used in X11, is known for its large file sizes due to the lack of compression. XWD files are typically used for debugging and documentation purposes within the realm of computer graphics.

Sun Raster (.ras)

The Sun Raster file extension, also known as RAS, is a bitmap graphics file format developed by Sun Microsystems for use on their SunOS operating system. It supports black-and-white, grayscale, and color images with various pixel depths and includes simple Run-Length Encoding (RLE) compression. The format was widely used in UNIX-based systems and is supported by many imaging applications. The RAS format has largely been superseded by more modern formats but remains relevant for legacy systems and specific use cases.
