Palm Database
The generic database container for Palm OS.
PDB (Palm Database) is the standard file format for all data on Palm OS devices, from address books to e-books. In the context of images, a PDB file acts as a container for 'Palm Pixmap' images, typically storing them as a series of records. It was the only way to get data onto a Palm pilot.
A PDB file consists of a header (name, attributes, creation time) and a list of records. For images, these records contain the bitmap data (often compressed with RLE/PackBits). ImageMagick treats PDB files as a multi-image sequence if multiple bitmaps are stored in the records. The format is strictly structured to map directly to the device's RAM storage model.
Created by Palm Computing in 1996. It was designed to facilitate 'HotSync' between the handheld's RAM and the desktop PC. It became ubiquitous in the early 2000s PDA era.
Quite OK Image Format
Lossless compression that is incredibly fast.
QOI (Quite OK Image Format) is a modern lossless image format created by Dominic Szablewski in 2021. It was designed to be a simpler, faster alternative to PNG, prioritizing encoding and decoding speed over maximum compression ratio.
The QOI specification fits on a single page of paper. It achieves compression ratios similar to PNG but encodes 20x-50x faster and decodes 3x-4x faster. It uses a simple streaming algorithm with a running array of previously seen colors.
Released in 2021 as a reaction to the complexity of formats like PNG and the slowness of their reference implementations. It quickly gained viral popularity in the developer community.
