- Description
- The MIFF (Magick Image File Format) is a versatile image format used primarily by ImageMagick, a software suite for creating, editing, converting, and displaying bitmap images. It is designed to store bitmap images with a high degree of flexibility, supporting various depths and color spaces, including transparency and multiple layers. MIFF files are often used for temporary storage during image processing tasks, as they can efficiently preserve the full quality and attributes of images.
- 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.
