Both formats, briefly
HEICIN
HEIC is what an iPhone saves when the camera app is left on its default setting. It uses HEVC compression, so a photo takes noticeably less space than the JPG version, and one file can hold a burst, the frames of a Live Photo, depth data and non-destructive edits. Apple devices read it without help. Plenty of Windows software, older phones and upload forms still do not, which is why HEIC is the format people most often need converted before they can share a picture.
XBMOUT
An XBM file is an image written as C source code: an array of bytes with the width and height defined above it. That was the point in the X Window System, where a cursor or icon could be compiled straight into a program. It is monochrome and uncompressed, so it only makes sense for small, simple graphics. You still find XBM in Unix desktop source trees and in embedded projects that need a bitmap baked into the binary.
