About formats

WPG (WordPerfect Graphics) is a mixed vector/raster image format developed by WordPerfect Corporation and introduced with WordPerfect 5.0 on May 5, 1988. The format was designed to provide a native graphics capability for WordPerfect documents, supporting both vector drawing elements (lines, curves, polygons, text with font specifications, and filled shapes) and embedded raster images in a single file. WPG exists in two major versions: WPG1, which supports 1-bit and indexed color rasters up to 256 colors with optional run-length encoding compression, and WPG2, introduced later, which added true-color (24-bit) support, OLE object embedding, and enhanced vector capabilities. The vector portion of WPG files stores resolution-independent drawing commands that can be scaled and printed at any output device's native resolution, while the raster portion handles photographic and scanned content. During WordPerfect's peak market dominance in the late 1980s and early 1990s, WPG was one of the most commonly encountered graphics formats in business and legal document workflows, used for logos, diagrams, letterheads, and clip art. One advantage is the hybrid vector/raster capability: WPG could combine scalable line art with photographic imagery in a single file at a time when most formats handled only one or the other, making it practical for the mixed-content graphics typical of business documents. Continued accessibility is another strength — WPG files remain readable by LibreOffice, Corel's current software suite (which inherited WordPerfect), ImageMagick, XnView, and Inkscape, ensuring decades-old documents remain viewable.

JFIF (JPEG File Interchange Format) is the standard file format specification for storing JPEG-compressed images, published by Eric Hamilton at C-Cube Microsystems in version 1.0 in 1991 and updated to version 1.02 in 1992. While the JPEG standard (ISO/IEC 10918-1) defines the compression algorithm — the discrete cosine transform, quantization, and entropy coding that convert pixel data into a compact bitstream — it does not specify a file format. JFIF fills this gap by defining a minimal container that wraps the JPEG bitstream with the metadata needed for interoperable display: pixel aspect ratio, resolution units (DPI or dots per centimeter), color space specification (YCbCr using CCIR 601 conversion from RGB), and an optional embedded thumbnail. The JFIF container is identified by an APP0 marker segment at the start of the file containing the ASCII string 'JFIF' and a version number. Nearly every JPEG file in existence conforms to the JFIF specification — when people refer to a 'JPEG file,' they almost always mean a JFIF file, even if the extension is .jpg or .jpeg. One advantage is universality: JFIF's simplicity and early publication date (predating competing proposals like EXIF) meant it was adopted by virtually every software and hardware platform as the baseline JPEG file format, establishing the interoperability that made JPEG the world's most widely used image format. The specification's deliberate minimalism is another strength — by defining only the essential metadata for correct display and leaving room for application-specific extensions via additional APP markers, JFIF proved extensible enough to accommodate EXIF camera data, ICC color profiles, and XMP metadata without breaking backward compatibility.
Initial release: 1991
