About formats

POT (PowerPoint Template) is the binary template format for Microsoft PowerPoint, using the same OLE2 compound document structure as PPT files. A POT file contains a complete presentation structure — slide masters, color schemes, font definitions, placeholder layouts, background designs, and default formatting — that serves as a reusable foundation for new presentations with consistent branding. When a user creates a new presentation from a POT template, PowerPoint generates a fresh untitled document pre-populated with the template's design elements while leaving the original file unmodified. The format supports all visual features available in PPT including custom slide layouts, embedded graphics, animations, transition presets, and action buttons on master slides. POT templates became central to corporate identity management in organizations that standardized their visual communications through PowerPoint, ensuring every department produced presentations with approved logos, color palettes, fonts, and layouts. One advantage is brand consistency at scale — distributing a POT file across an organization guarantees that all new presentations inherit the correct visual identity without requiring each author to manually replicate design elements. Rapid document creation is another strength: presenters start with professional layouts and focus on content rather than design, reducing preparation time. While the XML-based POTX format has replaced POT for modern workflows, the binary template format remains in use where compatibility with PowerPoint 97-2003 is required.
Developer: Microsoft
Initial release: 1997
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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert POT to JBG?

JBG uses lossless JBIG compression that is especially efficient for documents and diagrams — ideal when you need compact, high-fidelity images of presentation slides.

What software opens JBG files?

IrfanView, XnView, GIMP, and ImageMagick can all handle JBG files. Some fax software also supports the format natively.

Is the compression truly lossless?

Yes. JBG applies JBIG compression, which preserves every pixel without quality degradation — perfect for text-heavy template slides.

Can I convert multiple slides from one POT file?

Each slide within the POT template is rendered as a separate JBG image, so multi-slide templates produce multiple output files.

Is the converter free?

Basic conversions are completely free. For larger files or regular use, premium plans offer increased capacity.

Does this work on mobile devices?

Yes. The converter runs in any modern mobile browser — upload, convert, and download JBG files directly on your phone or tablet.
