Targa Graphics (.vda)

The VDA file extension, associated with Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter (TARGA), is a raster graphics file format developed by Truevision Inc. It was designed for high-color and true-color display on IBM-compatible PCs, supporting resolutions matching NTSC and PAL video formats. VDA files are used for digital photos, textures, and video editing, offering various color depths (8 to 32 bits) and alpha channel transparency. The format includes both lossless and lossy compression options, ensuring high-quality image preservation.

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.
