Format Details
PFM
PFM (Portable Float Map) extends the Netpbm format family to store floating-point pixel values instead of integer values, preserving full mathematical precision. It is commonly used in scientific imaging, computer graphics research, and HDR imaging workflows where precise floating-point luminance data must not be quantized. PFM files are larger than standard image formats but essential for downstream processing that requires exact numerical accuracy.
SVG
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format maintained by the W3C as an open web standard. Unlike raster formats, SVG images are mathematically defined and scale infinitely without any quality loss, and can be styled and animated with CSS and JavaScript directly in browsers. SVG is the definitive format for logos, icons, illustrations, and data visualizations that must look crisp across every screen size and resolution.
