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.

MOBI is an ebook format originally developed by Mobipocket SA, a French company founded in 2000 that was later acquired by Amazon in 2005. The format builds on the PalmDOC/PDB container structure, adding support for HTML-based content markup, embedded images, a DRM layer, and a JavaScript subset for limited interactivity. MOBI files use a record-based database architecture inherited from Palm OS, with a header structure containing metadata like title, author, publisher, and language followed by compressed HTML content records. The format became the foundation of Amazon's early Kindle ecosystem — the original AZW format used on first-generation Kindles was essentially MOBI with Amazon's own DRM wrapper. MOBI supports reflowable text with basic formatting including bold, italic, headings, lists, and tables, as well as internal hyperlinks and a built-in table of contents. One advantage is broad device compatibility: MOBI files are recognized by Kindle devices and apps spanning over a decade of hardware, as well as numerous third-party readers on desktop and mobile platforms. The format's lightweight structure is another strength — even long novels produce compact files that load quickly on modest hardware. While Amazon has since moved to the more capable AZW3/KF8 format for new publishing, MOBI remains widely circulated in existing ebook libraries and continues to be produced by conversion tools like Calibre for maximum Kindle compatibility.
