The JBG file extension stands for Joint Bi-level Image Group, a format developed for efficient lossless compression of binary images, primarily used in fax transmissions. Introduced by the Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group, JBG files store 1-bit raster images and offer superior compression compared to older standards like CCITT Group 3 and 4. Although initially popular for fax machines, the format has largely been superseded by JBIG2, which provides even better compression.
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.
