Silicon Graphics Image (.sgi)

The Silicon Graphics Image (SGI) file format, developed by Silicon Graphics Inc. in 1995, is a raster graphics format designed for high-quality color images. It supports 8 to 32 bits per pixel, three primary color channels, and an optional alpha channel for transparency. The format employs run-length encoding (RLE) compression to minimize file sizes. Initially utilized on Silicon Graphics workstations, the SGI format remains compatible with modern image viewers and editors.

Portable Network Graphics (.png)

The Portable Network Graphics (PNG) file extension, established in 1996, serves as a widely-used raster graphics format that supports lossless data compression. Initially developed as a superior, patent-free replacement for the GIF format, PNG is prevalent in the IT industry for web design, digital photography, and complex graphics due to its capability to handle detailed images with transparent backgrounds and its extensive color range. Known for maintaining high-quality visuals without increasing file size significantly, PNG remains an indispensable tool in professional digital imaging and web development.
