About XV (.XV)
XV files are raster image files associated with the XV image viewer, a popular program used primarily on Unix systems during the 1990s. These files typically store images in a bitmap format and are useful for viewing and editing graphic data on older systems.
Technical Details
XV files usually contain uncompressed bitmap data, which means they can be large compared to modern compressed formats like JPEG or PNG. The XV viewer supported multiple image formats and allowed users to manipulate colors and perform basic transformations, making the XV format versatile for its time.
Additional Information & Use Cases
The XV format was created to support quick image display and basic editing capabilities, often used by researchers and developers working with scientific imagery. Despite its age, XV helped pave the way for more advanced image viewers by emphasizing simplicity and efficiency in handling image files.
