CCITT Group 3 Fax Image (.g3)

The G3 file extension refers to the CCITT Group 3 Fax Image, a standardized format developed by the Consultative Committee for International Telegraphy and Telephony (CCITT), now known as ITU-T. This format was created to efficiently compress black-and-white fax documents for transmission over telephone lines. It employs a method called Modified Huffman Coding for data compression, enabling reduced transmission time and bandwidth usage. G3 was widely adopted in the 1980s and 1990s as the primary standard for fax transmissions, ensuring compatibility across different fax machines and systems.

The DirectDraw Surface (DDS) file extension is used primarily for storing graphical textures and cubic environment maps in the field of computer technology. Introduced by Microsoft with DirectX 7.0, DDS files facilitate efficient loading and storage of texture data, crucial for rendering 3D graphics in real-time applications like video games and simulation software. These files support both uncompressed and compressed formats, leveraging S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) to optimize memory usage and performance. DDS files are indispensable in modern graphics programming, enabling quick texture manipulation and robust graphical asset management.
