- Description
- This is a bitmap graphics file format created for printers and terminals by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). It is another extension of the SIXEL file.
- 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.
