Farbfeld Lossless Image (.ff)

The Farbfeld (FF) file extension stands for "Farbfeld Lossless Image", a format designed for simplicity and efficiency in parsing and piping image data. Introduced by the Suckless community, Farbfeld stores images in a straightforward, uncompressed format, making it ideal for use with external compression algorithms. This format uses 32-bit RGBA values for each pixel, ensuring lossless quality. Its history traces back to the need for a minimalistic, easily manageable image format that avoids the complexity of integrated compression found in formats like PNG.
