DEC Six Pixels (.six)

The SIX file extension, short for "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Introduced initially to send bitmap graphics to DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, SIX later facilitated the transfer of soft fonts to terminals such as the VT220. This format encodes images using a series of six-pixel-high patterns, making it efficient for transmitting graphics over 7-bit serial links. Rediscovered around 2010, SIX remains in use with modern terminal emulators for tasks like video playback.

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.
