- Description
- The FBM (Fuzzy Bitmap) file format is a type of image file format that was designed for use with the FrameBufferMan program, which primarily serves the Unix environment. FBM files are used to store bitmap images, which consist of a map of pixels that collectively form an image. This format supports various color depths and can include metadata such as the image's dimensions and color information. The FBM format is specifically tailored for handling graphics with a focus on simplicity and effectiveness in environments where direct and straightforward manipulation of pixel data is required.
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
