1. Common formats

Image file formats provide a standardized method of organizing and storing image data. Here is a list of the common formats handled by Contenta-Converter.

JPEG files
JPEG 2000 files
TIFF files
GIF files
PNG files
PPM files
BMP files
TODO
PSD files

2. RAW formats

Raw files, which contain the original information captured by a camera sensor prior to any in-camera processing, have become popular due to their promise of greater flexibility and image quality. Serious photographers want to store raw files in long-term image archives, because unlike standard JPEG's and TIFF's these files represent the pure, unaltered capture. Here is a list of the RAW formats handled by Contenta-Converter.

DNG files
NEF files
PEF files
MRW files
RAF files
ORF files
CRW files
CR2 files
RAW files
ARW files
DRF files
ERF files
MEF files
MOS files
PTX files
SR2 files
SRF files
X3F files

3. Vector formats

Vector formats use geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes instead of pixels to represent images. A vector graphics program uses the mathematical formulae to construct the screen image. Since these formulae can produce an image scalable to any size and detail the quality of the image is only determined by the resolution of the display and the file size of vector data generating the image stays the same. Printing the image to paper will usually give a sharper, higher resolution output than printing it to the screen but can use exactly the same vector data file. Here is a list of the vector formats handled by Contenta-Converter.
