- Description
- The JFIF (JPEG File Interchange Format) format makes it possible to transfer compressed JPEG files across computers. This graphical file format uses a marker to show various parameters not seen in the standard JPEG file — for instance, pixel size, pixel geometry, among others.
- Created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), SIXEL is a bitmap image format in an escaped sequence (seen as six pixels high and one pixel wide). You have to convert it into a more accessible format if you don’t have a DEC terminal to view it.
