About the MAC format
MAC — MacPaint Image
MAC is the native bitmap format of MacPaint, Apple's original paint application bundled with the first Macintosh in 1984. MacPaint files are monochrome (black and white) 576×720 pixel images that represent one of the earliest consumer bitmap graphics formats in computing history.
Common uses
- Recovering early Macintosh MacPaint artwork
- Historical computing and art preservation
- Converting classic Mac graphics to modern formats
- Computing history archive projects
About the XBM format
XBM — X Windows Bitmap
XBM is a monochrome (black and white) bitmap format used in the X Window System. Like XPM, it is stored as ASCII C source code, making it trivially embeddable in applications. It was the original cursor and icon format for X11.
Common uses
- X11 cursor and icon definitions
- Embedding monochrome images in C programs
- Legacy Unix application graphics
- Simple black-and-white image storage
