Joint Photographic Experts Group (.jpeg)

JPEG, short for Joint Photographic Experts Group, is a widely-used image file format for compressing digital photographs. Established in 1992 by the Joint Photographic Experts Group, it revolutionized digital imagery by providing efficient, lossy compression that maintains significant image quality. Primarily used in digital cameras, web graphics, and image sharing, JPEG files support full-color imaging with 24-bit depth, enabling detailed and high-quality photographs in relatively small file sizes.

DEC Six Pixels (.sixel)

The SIXEL, or "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Initially designed for DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, it enabled the efficient transfer of bitmap graphics using a series of ASCII characters. Each character represents a 6-pixel high row, making it suitable for 7-bit serial communication. This format was later adapted for modern terminal emulators, extending its utility beyond its original scope.
