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.

Progressive JPEG (.pjpeg)

The PJPEG (Progressive JPEG) is a file extension for images that enhances the standard JPEG format by displaying images in successive waves of increasing detail, improving the user experience during slow network conditions. The JPEG stands for "Joint Photographic Experts Group", the organization that developed the standard in 1992. PJPEG is particularly useful for web applications, as it allows images to appear more quickly and progressively refine in quality, rather than loading from top to bottom like baseline JPEGs.
