About formats

BIN refers to MacBinary-encoded font files, a transfer format that preserves classic Macintosh file system features when moving data across platforms. Classic Mac OS stored fonts using the resource fork — a secondary data stream invisible to non-Mac systems — which meant that simply copying a Mac font to a Windows PC or Unix server would strip the actual font data entirely. MacBinary solves this by combining both the data fork and resource fork into a single flat file with a 128-byte header containing the original HFS metadata. In the font context, BIN files typically wrap TrueType suitcase fonts, PostScript Type 1 LWFN outline files, or bitmap NFNT font resources. The format was first specified in 1985 by Dennis Brothers and collaborators from the early Mac community, with MacBinary II following around 1987 and MacBinary III arriving in 1996 to support longer filenames. A key advantage is lossless preservation: every byte of the original Mac font file survives intact through email, FTP, or cross-platform file sharing, including creator and type codes that identify the font format. The single-file packaging is another practical strength — rather than dealing with separate data and resource streams, users and automated systems handle one portable container. Although modern macOS has moved away from resource forks and Mac fonts now typically ship as OTF, TTF, or DFONT files, BIN remains important for accessing archived font collections from the classic Mac era.

Initial release: 1985
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster image format developed by the PNG Development Group and published as a W3C Recommendation on October 1, 1996, created as a patent-free replacement for GIF after the Unisys LZW patent controversy. PNG uses a two-stage compression pipeline: a prediction filter selects the optimal per-row preprocessing (none, sub, up, average, or Paeth), then DEFLATE compression encodes the filtered data. The format supports rich color modes — 1/2/4/8/16-bit grayscale, 8/16-bit per channel true color, and indexed color with palettes up to 256 entries — all with optional alpha transparency ranging from a single transparent color to a full per-pixel alpha channel with 256 or 65536 levels. PNG also stores gamma correction, ICC color profiles, text metadata, and suggested background color. One advantage is lossless compression with transparency — PNG preserves every pixel exactly while supporting smooth semi-transparent edges, making it the standard format for web graphics, UI elements, logos, screenshots, and any image where artifacts or color shifts are unacceptable. Universal support is another core strength: every web browser, operating system, image editor, and programming library handles PNG natively. The format has proven remarkably durable — after nearly three decades, PNG remains the default lossless web image format. While newer formats like WebP and AVIF offer better compression, PNG's combination of lossless quality, full transparency, and absolute ubiquity keeps it indispensable.
