("Portable aNy Map"). Container formats of raster graphics editors These image formats contain various images, layers and objects, out of which the final image is to be composed AFPhoto (Affinity Photo Document) CD5 (Chasys Draw Image) CLIP (Clip Studio Paint) CPT (Corel Photo Paint) KRA (Krita) MDP (Medibang and FireAlpaca) PDN (Paint Dot Net) PSD (Adobe PhotoShop Document) PSP (Corel Paint Shop Pro) SAI (Paint Tool SAI) XCF (eXperimental Computing Facility format) — native GIMP format Other raster formats BPG (Better Portable Graphics) — an image format from 2014. Its purpose is to replace JPEG when quality or file size is an issue. To that end, it features a high data compression ratio, based on a subset of the HEVC video compression standard, including lossless compression. In addition, it supports various meta data (such as EXIF). DEEP — IFF-style format used by TVPaint DRW (Drawn File) ECW (Enhanced Compression Wavelet) FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) FLIF (Free Lossless Image Format) — a discontinued lossless image format which claims to outperform PNG, lossless WebP, lossless BPG and lossless JPEG 2000 in terms of compression ratio. It uses the MANIAC (Meta-Adaptive Near-zero Integer Arithmetic Coding) entropy encoding algorithm, a variant of the CABAC (context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding) entropy encoding algorithm. ICO — container for one or more icons (subsets of BMP and/or PNG) ILBM — IFF-style format for up to 32 bit in planar representation, plus optional 64 bit extensions IMG (ERDAS IMAGINE Image) IMG (Graphics Environment Manager (GEM) image file) — planar, run-length encoded JPEG XR — JPEG standard based on Microsoft HD Photo Layered Image File Format — for microscope image processing Nrrd (Nearly raw raster data) PAM (Portable Arbitrary Map) — late addition to the Netpbm family PCX (PiCture eXchange) — obsolete PGF (Progressive Graphics File) PLBM (Planar Bitmap) — proprietary Amiga format SGI (Silicon Graphics Image) — native raster graphics file format for Silicon Graphics workstations SID (multiresolution seamless image database, MrSID) Sun Raster — obsolete TGA (TARGA) — obsolete VICAR file format — NASA/JPL image transport format XISF (Extensible Image Serialization Format) Vector formats As opposed to the raster image formats above (where the data describes the characteristics of each individual pixel), vector image formats contain a geometric description which can be rendered smoothly at any desired display size. At some point, all vector graphics must be rasterized in order to be displayed on digital monitors. Vector
