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.

FB2 (FictionBook) is an XML-based ebook format created by Dmitry Gribov in 2004, designed to provide a clean semantic description of a book's content independent of its visual presentation. Unlike page-layout formats, FB2 encodes structure — title, authors, chapters, annotations, genres, epigraphs, poems, footnotes, and binary attachments (typically cover images) — within a single well-formed XML document. This structural approach means reading applications have full control over rendering, allowing the same file to adapt perfectly to a small phone screen or a large e-ink reader. FB2 became enormously popular in Russia and Eastern Europe, serving as the dominant format on major Russian digital libraries and ebook distribution platforms. One significant advantage is metadata richness: the format's schema mandates detailed bibliographic information including author, translator, series position, publication date, and genre classification, making library management and discovery straightforward. The plain-text XML foundation is another strength — FB2 files are human-readable, easy to validate, and simple to transform using standard XML tools like XSLT. The format specification is freely available on GitHub, and a wide ecosystem of readers, editors, and converters supports it across all major platforms, from desktop applications like Calibre to dedicated e-readers with native FB2 rendering.
