Convert JPE to SIX

The JPE file extension stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. It is a widely used image format known for its efficient compression and high quality, making it ideal for digital photography and web use. Originating in the late 1980s, the JPE format was developed to enable the effective storage and transmission of photographic images. Its primary purpose is to reduce file size without significantly compromising image quality, thereby optimizing storage and facilitating faster file transfers in computer technology contexts.

The SIX file extension, short for "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Introduced initially to send bitmap graphics to DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, SIX later facilitated the transfer of soft fonts to terminals such as the VT220. This format encodes images using a series of six-pixel-high patterns, making it efficient for transmitting graphics over 7-bit serial links. Rediscovered around 2010, SIX remains in use with modern terminal emulators for tasks like video playback.
