APNG (Animated Portable Network Graphics) is an extension of the PNG format that supports frame-by-frame animation, created as a superior alternative to GIF. It offers full 24-bit color and 8-bit alpha transparency per frame, producing smooth, high-quality animations. APNG files are widely supported in modern browsers and are ideal for animated icons, stickers, and lightweight web animations.

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format based on the AV1 video codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media. It delivers superior compression efficiency compared to JPEG and PNG, often reducing file sizes by 50% or more while maintaining excellent visual quality. AVIF supports HDR, wide color gamut, and transparency, making it an ideal choice for the modern web.

BLP is a proprietary texture format developed by Blizzard Entertainment, used primarily in games such as World of Warcraft and StarCraft II. It supports various GPU-friendly compression modes optimized for real-time rendering in game engines. BLP files can store mipmaps and are typically not used outside of Blizzard's gaming ecosystem.

BMP (Bitmap) is one of the oldest raster image formats, developed by Microsoft for the Windows operating system. It stores pixel data in an uncompressed or minimally compressed form, resulting in large file sizes but perfect lossless quality. BMP is widely supported across Windows applications and is commonly used as an intermediate format in image processing workflows.

CUR is the Windows cursor file format used to store static mouse cursor images for the operating system. It shares the same internal structure as the ICO format and supports multiple sizes and color depths within a single file. CUR files define the appearance of mouse pointers in Windows applications and throughout the OS shell.

DCX is a multi-page extension of the PCX image format, originally developed to support fax transmission of multiple pages within a single file. Each page is stored as a separate PCX image inside the DCX container. DCX was popular in the early 1990s for storing scanned fax documents but has since been largely superseded by formats like PDF and TIFF.

DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is a raster image format developed by Microsoft for use with Direct3D and DirectX applications. It supports GPU-native texture compression formats such as DXT/BC, mipmaps, and cube maps, making it ideal for 3D game textures and real-time environments. DDS files can be loaded directly by the GPU without decompression, enabling fast real-time rendering in games and interactive applications.

DIB (Device Independent Bitmap) is a variant of the BMP format designed to ensure consistent rendering across different display devices and color depths. Unlike the older device-dependent bitmap, DIB includes a color table and stores image data in a device-agnostic way. It is primarily used internally by Windows GDI (Graphics Device Interface) for drawing and printing operations.

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a vector graphics file format based on Adobe's PostScript page description language. It can contain both vector graphics and embedded raster images, making it a staple in professional publishing and print workflows. EPS files are resolution-independent and are widely supported by design applications such as Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW.

FLI is an early animation format created by Autodesk for their Animator software in the late 1980s. It stores frame-by-frame animation data using delta compression, recording only the pixels that change between frames to reduce file size. FLI was popular for creating simple animations on DOS-based systems but is rarely used in modern workflows.

FLC is an improved version of the FLI animation format, also developed by Autodesk for their Animator Pro software. It supports larger frame sizes and better compression than the original FLI format. Like FLI, FLC files store animations as sequences of difference frames and were widely used in early multimedia applications and DOS-era games.

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is one of the most recognized image formats on the internet, developed by CompuServe in 1987. It supports up to 256 colors per frame and lossless LZW compression, and is famous for its animation capability, making it ideal for simple looping clips and reaction images. GIF remains enormously popular for sharing short animations and memes across social media and messaging platforms.

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default image format for iPhone and iPad cameras, based on the HEVC video codec developed by MPEG. It delivers significantly better compression than JPEG while maintaining comparable or higher visual quality, typically halving file sizes at equivalent quality. HEIC supports multiple images, depth maps, thumbnail previews, and metadata within a single file.

HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is the generic container format developed by MPEG from which HEIC (using HEVC encoding) is derived. It supports image sequences, live photos, multi-frame images, and audio tracks within a single container, with superior compression compared to JPEG. HEIF is used across Apple, Samsung, and other platforms as a modern alternative to older image container formats.

ICNS is Apple's icon format used on macOS and iOS to store application icons at multiple resolutions within a single file. A single ICNS file can contain icons ranging from 16×16 to 1024×1024 pixels, including Retina (2×) variants for high-DPI displays. ICNS files ensure that application icons look sharp at any display size and are required for app distribution in the Apple ecosystem.

ICO is the Windows icon file format used to display icons for applications, files, folders, and shortcuts in the operating system. It can contain multiple image sizes and color depths within a single file, ensuring icons look sharp at different display scales and DPI settings. ICO files are also used as website favicons — the small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and address bars.

JP2 (JPEG 2000) is an advanced image compression standard developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group as a next-generation successor to JPEG. It uses wavelet-based compression to achieve significantly better quality at similar file sizes, and supports both lossy and lossless compression in the same format. JP2 is widely used in archival imaging, medical photography, and cinema digital intermediate workflows.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is the most widely used lossy image compression format in the world, designed for compressing natural photographic images. It achieves high compression ratios by discarding visual detail that the human eye is less sensitive to, typically reducing file sizes by 10× or more. JPEG is universally supported across every device and application, and remains the standard format for digital photography and web images.

JPG is the most common file extension for the JPEG image format, which uses lossy compression to significantly reduce file sizes while maintaining visually acceptable quality. Every digital camera, smartphone, and web browser supports JPG natively, making it the dominant format for sharing photographs worldwide. Its excellent balance between file size and image quality has kept it the most-used image format for decades.

JFIF (JPEG File Interchange Format) is a common file extension for JPEG images, especially on Windows and older digital cameras. It uses the same JPEG compression as .jpg files and converts to PNG, WebP, PDF, and other standard image formats.

JPEG XL (JXL) is a next-generation image codec designed as a long-term replacement for JPEG, PNG, and GIF. It offers significantly better compression than JPEG (often 60% smaller at equivalent quality), supports lossless compression, animation, and HDR color. A unique feature of JPEG XL is its ability to losslessly re-encode existing JPEG files, saving storage space without any quality degradation.

MPO (Multi-Picture Object) is an image format used by stereoscopic 3D cameras, particularly those from Fujifilm and the Nintendo 3DS, to store two slightly offset perspectives of the same scene. The format pairs a standard JPEG with a secondary JPEG representing the other eye's viewpoint. MPO files can be displayed as regular 2D photos or experienced in 3D on compatible displays and hardware.

MSP is the proprietary bitmap image format used by Microsoft Paint in the early Windows 1.x and 2.x era. It stores only monochrome (black and white) images in a simple uncompressed binary format without any metadata or color information. MSP is a historical format not supported by modern applications, but files can be converted to preserve content from very old PC collections.

PBM (Portable Bitmap) is part of the Netpbm family of simple image formats designed for easy cross-platform transfer without compatibility issues. It stores monochrome black-and-white images in either plain-text or binary format with minimal overhead or proprietary encoding. PBM is widely used in Unix-like systems and forms the foundation of image processing pipelines and academic computer vision tooling.
