Convert PIX to JBG

The PIX file extension stands for Alias/Wavefront Run-Length Encoding (RLE) Image Format. Developed by Alias Systems Corporation (later acquired by Autodesk), it was designed for storing bitmap images in PowerAnimator and Alias 3D software. This format was instrumental in creating high-resolution 3D models and animations for movies and video games in the 1990s. The RLE compression minimized file size without compromising image quality, optimizing performance for graphics-heavy tasks. Although its usage has declined in favor of more versatile formats, PIX played a significant role in the evolution of computer graphics technology.

The JBG file extension stands for Joint Bi-level Image Group, a format developed for efficient lossless compression of binary images, primarily used in fax transmissions. Introduced by the Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group, JBG files store 1-bit raster images and offer superior compression compared to older standards like CCITT Group 3 and 4. Although initially popular for fax machines, the format has largely been superseded by JBIG2, which provides even better compression.
