Encapsulated PostScript Interchange with TIFF Preview (.ept)

The EPT file extension stands for Encapsulated PostScript Interchange with TIFF Preview. It is primarily used in professional graphic design and desktop publishing, particularly with Adobe software. EPT files combine PostScript data for high-quality printing with a TIFF preview for on-screen viewing. This format emerged to facilitate the exchange of complex graphic files between different systems and applications, ensuring both print accuracy and visual consistency. Its adoption has been crucial in workflows requiring precise color management and detailed image rendering.

DEC Six Pixels (.sixel)

The SIXEL, or "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Initially designed for DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, it enabled the efficient transfer of bitmap graphics using a series of ASCII characters. Each character represents a 6-pixel high row, making it suitable for 7-bit serial communication. This format was later adapted for modern terminal emulators, extending its utility beyond its original scope.
