Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg)

SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics, a versatile file format developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in 1999. This XML-based format is primarily used for defining vector-based graphics for the web, enabling smooth scaling and high-quality rendering on various display resolutions. SVG's scalability, interactivity, and animation support make it ideal for responsive web design, complex illustrations, diagrams, and data visualizations. Its textual nature ensures easy editing and integration with other web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, promoting seamless user experiences and streamlined workflows in modern web development.

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.
