It has the ability to store both the fractal parameters (fractal type, x and y coordinates, magnification and image resolution in a zoomed imagery and the overlaid color scheme.

They can be exported to .bmp, .jpg, .gif, and .png image formats by selecting the following program option: Click “File”, then” Save Image”. Files in MXAD format can be opened with Mandelbrot Explorer in Microsoft Windows platforms. Aside from MXAD, it also uses MXFR, MXCS, and MXRW formats.

a word of warning
Be careful not to rename the extension on .mxad files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .mxad. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
