About formats

VIPS is the native file format of the libvips) image processing library, originally developed by John Cupitt and Kirk Martinez at the National Gallery in London during the VASARI project (1989-1993) for high-resolution digitization and analysis of paintings. The VIPS format stores large images in a simple, memory-mappable layout: a header containing image dimensions, number of bands (channels), data type (8/16/32-bit integer, float, double, complex), color interpretation, resolution, and offset metadata, followed by the raw pixel data in band-interleaved format. This straightforward layout allows the operating system's virtual memory manager to map the file directly into address space, enabling libvips to process images much larger than available RAM by paging portions in and out as needed — a technique called demand-driven evaluation. VIPS files support images with any number of bands at any of the supported numeric types, accommodating everything from standard RGB photographs to hyperspectral datasets with hundreds of bands. One advantage is large-image performance: libvips's architecture processes images in small tiles evaluated on demand, meaning a 100,000 x 100,000 pixel image can be cropped, resized, sharpened, and saved without loading the entire image into memory — a capability that makes VIPS the engine behind image processing services handling millions of web images. The format's scientific heritage is another strength — the VASARI project required analyzing paintings at ultra-high resolution with multispectral imaging, and the VIPS format's support for arbitrary band counts and floating-point precision reflects these computational imaging origins. VIPS files are primarily used with the libvips library (available for C, Python, Ruby, and other languages) and can be converted to other formats via vips command-line tools or ImageMagick.
Initial release: 1993
EPUB (Electronic Publication) is an open ebook standard originally developed by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) and now maintained by the W3C following the organizations' merger in 2017. The first version carrying the EPUB name was approved in October 2007 as a successor to the Open eBook Publication Structure (OEBPS). An EPUB file is essentially a ZIP archive containing XHTML or HTML5 content documents, CSS stylesheets, images, fonts, and metadata organized according to the Open Packaging Format and Open Container Format specifications. The current major version, EPUB 3, supports reflowable and fixed-layout content, embedded multimedia, JavaScript interactivity, MathML equations, and rich accessibility features including semantic markup and media overlays for synchronized text and audio. A defining advantage is universal device support — unlike proprietary formats, EPUB works natively on virtually every non-Kindle e-reader, tablet, and reading application, from Apple Books and Google Play Books to Kobo and dozens of third-party apps. The reflowable text model is another core strength, automatically adapting pagination, font size, and margins to match any screen dimension and user preference. EPUB's open specification and active W3C stewardship ensure long-term preservation and vendor independence, making it the de facto standard for digital publishing across libraries, academic institutions, and commercial retailers worldwide.
