- Description
- 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.
- Fax image created in the CCITT Group 3 compressed format, which is used for digital transmission of fax data and supports 1 bit per pixel; can be viewed by programs such as GIMP and IrfanView.
