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.

Portable Bitmap (.pbm)

The PBM (Portable Bitmap) file extension, part of the Netpbm project, originated in the late 1980s to facilitate efficient and portable graphics file interchange. Primarily, PBM files are used to store monochrome bitmaps in a simple ASCII text format, ensuring easy compatibility across different systems and platforms. This format supports only black-and-white imagery, making it particularly useful in scenarios where simplicity and minimalism are prioritized, such as in Unix environments for bitmap manipulation and transfer. Its historical significance lies in promoting a standardized approach to bitmap graphics in early computer technology.
