- Description
- MAT (MATLAB Image Format) is an image file format created by MathWorks for storing and sharing MATLAB data and images. It contains data in a binary format, as well as metadata describing the image. MAT files can be used to store images, 3D models, and other types of data.
- VIPS is a libvips file format mainly used for calculations, but it can also store images. The main advantage is that it has no size limit; it's fast and straightforward. Nonetheless, most applications can't view it, so converting it to a more popular format is the only way to work around it.
