Over The Air Bitmap Image (.otb)

The OTB (Over The Air Bitmap) file extension, developed by Nokia, is used for transmitting black and white bitmap images between mobile phones, particularly Nokia and Siemens models. These images, with a maximum resolution of 255x255 pixels, are often sent via SMS in either hexadecimal text or binary format. Historically, OTB files were popular in the early days of mobile communication for sending simple graphics, icons, and wallpapers when data transmission speeds were limited.

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.
