About formats

JBG is a file extension for images compressed using the JBIG (Joint Bi-level Image experts Group) standard, formally ITU-T Recommendation T.82, completed in 1993 as a successor to the Group 3 and Group 4 fax compression standards. JBIG compression is designed for bi-level (black and white) images but can also handle grayscale and limited-color images by encoding each bit plane separately. The algorithm uses a form of arithmetic coding guided by an adaptive context model: for each pixel, the encoder examines a template of surrounding already-coded pixels to build a probability estimate, then feeds this estimate to a QM-coder (a variant of the Q-coder arithmetic coder) that produces a highly efficient binary output. JBIG achieves 20-40% better compression than Group 4 on typical document images, with the improvement being even larger on halftoned photographs and images with gradual density transitions where Group 4's simple run-length approach is less effective. The standard supports progressive encoding, where a low-resolution version of the image is transmitted first and progressively refined — useful for fax-like applications where the receiver can begin displaying the image before the full-resolution data arrives. One advantage is superior compression of documents containing halftone images: newspapers, magazines, and marketing materials that mix text with photographic halftones compress dramatically better with JBIG than with Group 3/4. The standard's ITU-T backing ensures it is implemented in document imaging hardware and software worldwide. JBG files are supported by ImageMagick and various document imaging tools.
Initial release: 1993
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.
