WebP
Google's versatile format that does it all—transparency, animation, and superior compression.
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google specifically to speed up the web. It is a 'swiss army knife' format that combines the best features of JPEG (lossy compression), PNG (lossless compression and transparency), and GIF (animation) into a single, efficient package. WebP lossless images are typically 26% smaller than PNGs, while WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEGs. This significant size reduction helps websites load faster and consume less bandwidth, which is why it is strongly recommended by Google's PageSpeed Insights. After years of partial browser support, WebP is now universally supported across all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge), making it the default choice for delivering optimized images on the web today.
WebP is based on the VP8 video codec (part of the WebM project). **Lossy WebP** uses predictive coding to encode an image, similar to how video keyframes are compressed. It predicts the values of pixels based on their neighbors and only encodes the difference (residual). It operates in the YUV color space. **Lossless WebP** uses advanced techniques like dedicated entropy codes for different color channels, 2D locality of backward reference distances, and a color cache of recently used colors. It operates in the RGBA color space. Uniquely, WebP supports 'lossy with transparency'—a feature JPEG lacks. This allows for transparent images that are significantly smaller than PNGs by applying lossy compression to the RGB channels while keeping the alpha channel sharp (or compressed).
Google announced WebP in September 2010 as a new open standard for lossy true-color graphics. It was derived from the VP8 video codec technology Google acquired from On2 Technologies. In 2011, Google extended the format to support lossless compression, transparency (alpha channel), and animation, effectively positioning it as a replacement for JPEG, PNG, and GIF simultaneously. Adoption was initially slow outside of the Chrome ecosystem. Firefox added support in 2019, and the final major holdout, Apple's Safari, added support in September 2020 (iOS 14 / macOS Big Sur). This universal support marked the turning point where WebP became safe to use as a primary format.
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.
