About formats

JBIG (Joint Bi-level Image experts Group) is a lossless image compression standard (ITU-T T.82) published in 1993, developed by a committee of experts drawn from the same international standards bodies that created JPEG. While the extension .jbig and .jbg refer to the same underlying compression standard, .jbig is the more explicit form commonly used in software that handles the raw JBIG-compressed datastream. The compression algorithm centers on context-dependent arithmetic coding: before encoding each pixel, the encoder examines a configurable template of 10 to 16 nearby pixels (a mix of neighbors from the current and previous lines) to determine a context — one of thousands of possible local pixel configurations. Each context maintains its own adaptive probability estimate that is continually updated as encoding proceeds, allowing the coder to exploit the statistical patterns unique to each image region. This approach handles text, line art, halftoned photographs, and mixed-content pages with a single algorithm, achieving consistently better compression than the fixed Huffman tables of Group 3 or the simpler prediction model of Group 4. A later revision, JBIG2 (T.88), added pattern matching and lossy modes for even higher compression, but the original JBIG remains widely deployed. One advantage is the algorithm's adaptiveness: unlike Group 3/4 codecs that use fixed statistical models, JBIG continuously learns the characteristics of each specific image as it encodes, providing near-optimal compression across widely varying content types. The standard is embedded in many multifunction printers and document scanners for internal image handling. JBIG files are processable by ImageMagick, jbigkit, and enterprise document imaging systems.
Initial release: 1993
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible raster image format originally developed by Aldus Corporation (later acquired by Adobe) in October 1986 for desktop publishing and scanning applications. The format uses a tagged data structure where the image file header points to one or more Image File Directories (IFDs), each containing a set of tags that describe the image's dimensions, color space, compression, resolution, and other properties. This extensible architecture means TIFF can accommodate virtually any image type: 1-bit bilevel, grayscale, indexed color, RGB, CMYK, CIE L*a*b*, and beyond, at any bit depth from 1 to 64 bits per sample. TIFF supports multiple compression methods including none (uncompressed), LZW, DEFLATE, JPEG, and CCITT Group 3/4 fax compression, as well as multi-page documents, tiled storage for efficient random access to large images, and floating-point pixel values for HDR content. One advantage is professional-grade flexibility — TIFF handles the full range of image types encountered in publishing, prepress, medical imaging, geospatial analysis, and scientific research, where specialized color spaces and high bit depths are required. Lossless archival quality is another core strength: TIFF with no compression or LZW/DEFLATE preserves every pixel value exactly, making it the standard archival format for libraries, museums, and any institution that requires guaranteed long-term image fidelity. TIFF is supported by every major image editing, scanning, and publishing application across all platforms.
