Convert HEIC to XWD

The High Efficiency Image Container (HEIC) is a file extension used to store images and image sequences, leveraging the High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF). Developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and introduced in 2015, HEIC files are acclaimed for their superior compression efficiency, which allows for high-quality images at smaller file sizes. This format is widely used in modern digital devices, including smartphones and cameras, to optimize storage capacity without compromising image quality. It supports advanced features such as live photos, burst photo sequences, and transparent images, making it integral for contemporary digital imaging solutions.

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.
