About formats

RGB is a raw (headerless) image format that stores pixel data as a flat sequence of red, green, and blue sample values with no container structure, compression, or metadata. Each pixel is represented by three consecutive bytes (in 8-bit mode) — one for red intensity, one for green, and one for blue — written in scanline order from the top-left corner of the image to the bottom-right. Because there is no header, the image dimensions and bit depth must be specified externally when reading the file. The format supports multiple bit depths: 8-bit (0-255 per channel), 16-bit (0-65535 per channel), and floating-point variants, with 8-bit being the most common. The RGB color model itself reflects how display hardware produces color — by mixing red, green, and blue light at varying intensities — and raw RGB files represent this model in its most direct digital form. With 8-bit channels, three bytes per pixel yield a 24-bit color palette capable of representing 16,777,216 distinct colors. One advantage is zero-overhead processing: without headers or compression to parse, raw RGB data can be memory-mapped, fed directly into GPU textures, or piped between processing stages with minimal latency — valuable in real-time imaging, scientific instrumentation, and computer vision pipelines where every millisecond matters. The format's universal simplicity provides another practical strength — any programming language can read or write raw pixel data with just basic file I/O, making it a reliable interchange format between custom software that may not share support for structured image containers. Raw RGB files are handled by ImageMagick, FFmpeg, and various scientific and graphics tools.
Initial release: 1990
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 RGB to JBG?

Without headers or metadata, RGB data requires specific dimensions to interpret. JBG embeds this info automatically for hassle-free viewing.

What programs open JBG files?

JBG files can be opened in jbig-kit tools, IrfanView, and document imaging applications.

What makes JBG a good target format?

JBG offers bi-level compression, fax standard, document scanning. It gives your raw RGB data a proper structure that any image viewer or editor can handle.

Is batch RGB to JBG conversion possible?

Yes, Convertio lets you upload multiple RGB inputs at once. All of them are converted to JBG in parallel, speeding up your workflow.

Is RGB to JBG conversion lossless?

The pixel data from your RGB source is mapped faithfully to JBG. Whether the result is lossless depends on the JBG format's compression method.
