GIF87

CompuServe graphics interchange format

GIF87 is an early version of the GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) file format, introduced by CompuServe in 1987. It supports static images, is limited to a 256-color palette, and allows for transparent backgrounds, making it popular for simple web graphics. However, unlike its successor, GIF89a, GIF87a does not support animations or advanced features such as interlacing, which allows an image to load progressively.

SIXEL

DEC SIXEL Graphics Format

SIXEL is a bitmap graphics format that uses six pixels per character cell to represent images, primarily developed for DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) terminals in the 1980s. It allows for the display of images directly in terminal emulators that support the SIXEL standard, making it possible to visualize graphics in command-line environments without relying on external graphics programs.
