This is an immersive long-form essay — best read in its dedicated layout → Open the full version
Seven families, 50+ formats, 67 chapters. From the Web display lineage (BMP / GIF / PNG / JPEG / WebP / AVIF / JXL) through GPU textures (BCn / ETCn / PVRTC / ASTC), HDR & engineering imaging (OpenEXR / TIFF / RAW / DICOM), vector & document (SVG / PDF), retro oddities (TGA / PCX / QOI), satellite & science (GeoTIFF / FITS), to neural codecs and the future. Each format stands alone as a chapter with a hand-drawn SVG abstraction — usable as a long-term reference.
