About formats

KWD is the native document format of KWord, the word processor component of KOffice (later renamed Calligra Suite), developed by the KDE community with its first stable release in KOffice 1.0 in 2000. KWord distinguished itself from other word processors through a frame-based layout model where text, images, and other content existed in independent frames that could be positioned freely on the page, similar to desktop publishing applications — a departure from the linear text-flow approach used by most word processors. KWD files store document content in a compressed XML format that describes the frame hierarchy, text content with formatting markup, paragraph styles, page dimensions, headers, footers, and embedded media. The format uses a ZIP container packaging the XML document alongside any referenced images and resources. One advantage was the flexible frame-based layout — users could position text and image frames independently on the page, enabling newsletter-style layouts and creative document designs without switching to a dedicated DTP application. The open XML structure is another benefit, making KWD files transparent and accessible to automated processing. KWord was included in several Linux distributions as part of the KDE desktop environment during the 2000s. The project was eventually discontinued in favor of Calligra Words, which adopted the ODF standard. KWD files can be opened with legacy KOffice installations or converted through document conversion tools.

Initial release: 2000
RGB is a raw (headerless) image format that stores pixel data as a flat sequence of red, green, and blue sample values with no container structure, compression, or metadata. Each pixel is represented by three consecutive bytes (in 8-bit mode) — one for red intensity, one for green, and one for blue — written in scanline order from the top-left corner of the image to the bottom-right. Because there is no header, the image dimensions and bit depth must be specified externally when reading the file. The format supports multiple bit depths: 8-bit (0-255 per channel), 16-bit (0-65535 per channel), and floating-point variants, with 8-bit being the most common. The RGB color model itself reflects how display hardware produces color — by mixing red, green, and blue light at varying intensities — and raw RGB files represent this model in its most direct digital form. With 8-bit channels, three bytes per pixel yield a 24-bit color palette capable of representing 16,777,216 distinct colors. One advantage is zero-overhead processing: without headers or compression to parse, raw RGB data can be memory-mapped, fed directly into GPU textures, or piped between processing stages with minimal latency — valuable in real-time imaging, scientific instrumentation, and computer vision pipelines where every millisecond matters. The format's universal simplicity provides another practical strength — any programming language can read or write raw pixel data with just basic file I/O, making it a reliable interchange format between custom software that may not share support for structured image containers. Raw RGB files are handled by ImageMagick, FFmpeg, and various scientific and graphics tools.
