Convert VST to MONO

The VST file extension, associated with Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter (TARGA), is a raster graphics file format developed by Truevision Inc. (now part of Avid Technology) in 1984. It was designed for high-color display support on IBM-compatible PCs and is commonly used for digital photos and textures. The format supports various color depths and includes an alpha channel for transparency. It remains popular in the video and animation industry due to its ability to handle large, high-quality images with minimal quality loss.

The MONO file extension stands for "Monochrome Bitmap" and is used for storing raw bi-level bitmap images, which are essentially black-and-white images without any color or grayscale. This format is primarily utilized in applications requiring simple, high-contrast images, such as fax transmissions and certain types of document scanning. The MONO format, characterized by its least-significant-byte first order, has been supported by various image processing tools. Its history traces back to early bitmap graphics needs, emphasizing simplicity and efficiency in image storage and processing.
