About formats

FAX is a generic image file extension associated with facsimile transmission formats standardized by the ITU-T (formerly CCITT), with the underlying Group 3 compression standard ratified in 1980. FAX files typically contain monochrome (1-bit, black and white) image data compressed using the Modified Huffman (MH) encoding defined in ITU-T Recommendation T.4, which assigns variable-length codes to run lengths of consecutive white or black pixels along each scanline. The standard resolution for Group 3 fax is 204x98 dpi (normal mode) or 204x196 dpi (fine mode), reflecting the capabilities of thermal and laser fax machines of the era. FAX files encountered digitally are often raw Group 3 encoded bitstreams or TIFF wrappers with CCITT Group 3 compression (TIFF compression tag 3). The Group 3 encoding scheme is highly efficient for typical business documents — pages with mostly white space and black text — achieving compression ratios of 10:1 to 20:1 compared to uncompressed bitmaps. One advantage is universal fax system compatibility: Group 3 encoding is the mandatory baseline for all fax machines worldwide, meaning FAX files contain data in exactly the format transmitted over telephone lines, preserving the original fax data without transcoding losses. The format's role in business communications history provides another dimension — billions of fax transmissions using this encoding moved legal documents, medical records, and business correspondence for decades, and archived FAX files represent an important documentary record. FAX images can be viewed and converted using LibreOffice, ImageMagick, GIMP, and standard document management systems.

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a vector file format developed by Adobe Systems in collaboration with Aldus Corporation, first published in 1987. Built on Adobe's PostScript page description language, EPS wraps a self-contained PostScript program describing a single page of graphics — including vector paths, text, and embedded raster images — within a structured comment framework that provides bounding box coordinates and optional preview thumbnails. The encapsulation allows an EPS file to be placed into another document as a contained graphic element without interfering with the host document's PostScript code. For decades, EPS served as the universal exchange format in professional publishing, prepress, and print production, accepted by virtually every design, illustration, and page layout application across platforms. One key advantage is print-industry reliability — because EPS contains device-independent PostScript instructions, output is consistent across different RIPs, imagesetters, and printing presses. The format's cross-application compatibility is another strength: an EPS file created in Illustrator, CorelDRAW, or Inkscape can be placed in QuarkXPress, InDesign, or Word without requiring the originating application. While PDF has largely superseded EPS for modern workflows, the format remains widely used in stock illustration libraries, legacy publishing pipelines, and any context requiring a proven, universally supported vector exchange format.
