Both formats, briefly
XBMIN
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.
AVIFOUT
AVIF applies the AV1 video codec to still images. At the same visual quality it generally produces smaller files than JPG or WebP, and it handles transparency, high dynamic range, wide color and animation. The limits are decode speed and older software: current browsers cope, while an image tool from a few years back may not open the file at all. Use it for web delivery where bandwidth counts and you can serve a JPG fallback.
