File Converter

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.

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a cutting-edge image file format developed by the Alliance for Open Media, utilizing the AV1 video codec for highly efficient image compression. It supports a wide range of features including high dynamic range, wide color gamut, and 8-10 bit color depth, all while achieving significantly smaller file sizes compared to traditional formats like JPEG and PNG, though it may not be as widely supported across all platforms and software yet.
