About formats

CMX (Corel Presentation Exchange) is a vector graphics exchange format developed by Corel Corporation, introduced with CorelDRAW 5 in September 1994. Designed as a cross-application interchange format within the Corel product suite, CMX stores vector objects, text, bitmaps, and rendering attributes in a structure accessible to CorelDRAW, Corel PHOTO-PAINT, Corel Presentations, and other Corel applications without requiring each program to understand the full CDR native format. The format uses a chunk-based architecture that encodes geometric primitives, fill patterns, outline properties, and color definitions in a standardized way, supporting both 16-bit and 32-bit variants. CMX gained significance beyond the Corel ecosystem through its adoption by third-party applications and its role in clipart distribution — many vector art collections from the mid-to-late 1990s shipped in CMX format. One advantage is interoperability within design workflows: CMX provided a practical bridge for moving vector content between different Corel applications while preserving visual fidelity, gradients, and transparency attributes. The format's inclusion of both vector and bitmap data within a single file is another strength, allowing complex mixed-media illustrations to be exchanged as self-contained units. Microsoft also added CMX import support to some Office applications, expanding the format's reach. While modern Corel applications primarily use CDR for native work and export to SVG, PDF, or EPS for interchange, CMX files from the CorelDRAW era remain widely encountered in legacy asset libraries.

WebP is an image format developed by Google, announced on September 30, 2010, designed to provide superior compression for web images in both lossy and lossless modes. The lossy mode is derived from the VP8 video codec's intra-frame coding (the same technology used in WebM video), applying block prediction, transform coding, and adaptive quantization to photographic content. The lossless mode uses a distinct algorithm combining predictive coding, color space transforms, backward reference to repeated pixel patterns, and entropy coding. WebP also supports alpha transparency in both modes — lossy WebP with transparency is unique among common web formats, offering semi-transparent images at much smaller sizes than PNG. The format supports animated sequences as well, providing a modern alternative to GIF with full-color support and dramatically better compression. One advantage is substantial file size reduction — lossy WebP produces images 25-35% smaller than JPEG at equivalent visual quality, and lossless WebP is typically 26% smaller than PNG, directly improving web page loading speed and reducing bandwidth costs. Universal browser support provides another key strength: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and all mobile browsers now render WebP natively, achieving the broad adoption threshold needed for practical deployment. Google's core web infrastructure (Search, YouTube thumbnails, Gmail) uses WebP extensively, and the format is supported by major CDN platforms, CMS systems, and image processing services. WebP has established itself as the primary modern alternative to JPEG and PNG for web content.
