[[Exif]] tag 37500, "MakerNote", is (unfortunately) a popular way to store custom metadata, particularly in image files created by digital cameras (see [[Cameras and Digital Image Sensors]]).

By the Exif standard, MakerNote is merely a block of arbitrary bytes, which creators of Exif files may use in any way they like.

Some of the data formats used in MakerNotes have been documented or reverse-engineered. A MakerNote usually begins with a signature of some sort, such as the name of a camera manufacturer, to help identify its contents.

'''AFCP''' (AXS File Concatenation Protocol) is a metadata format for image files. Its main uses are embedding [[IPTC-IIM]] data, and thumbnail images. It's not clear what ''AXS'' refers to.

It is designed to be used as a "trailer" that can be appended to a number of different file formats. It could potentially be used in other ways, and even has [[TIFF]] tag 34152 assigned to it. But it is not a ''self-contained'' format (it contains pointers relative to the beginning of the ''file''), so such use would be problematic.

== Identification ==
In most cases, the signature "{{magic|ASX!}}" or "{{magic|ASX*}}" appears beginning 12 bytes from the end of the file.

ID3

'''ID3''', or '''ID3 tag''', is a metadata format, mainly used in [[MP3]] audio files. It stores information such as the song title, artist, and album.

Although designed for use with (and named after) MP3, ID3 is sometimes used with other audio formats. This can be done in two fundamental ways:
* Embedding the ID3 data inside the file, in a manner appropriate for that audio format. For example, [https://samples.libav.org/asf-wmv/wma_with_cover_art/wma_with_ID3_APIC.wma here] is a [[WMA]] file containing ID3 data.
* Prepending and/or appending the ID3 data to the file, MP3-style. This practice is not necessarily approved by any standard, but it has been done, for example with [[Ogg]] and [[FLAC]]. Here, the tail is wagging the dog, and ID3 can be thought of as a container format for an arbitrary audio format.

== Format details ==
There are two major versions. ID3v1 defines a fixed-length data block that is always placed at the end of the file. ID3v2, which has very little in common with ID3v1, defines a block with variable-length frames and allows more flexibility and verbosity. ID3v2 data usually appears at the beginning of the file. It is possible, and common, for a file to have both ID3v1 and ID3v2 metadata.

As of 2017, there are three versions of ID3v2 to be aware of: v2.2.x, v2.3.x, and v2.4.x. These formats have some critical differences, and are definitely ''not'' compatible with each other.

== Identification ==
For an MP3 file with an ID3v1 tag, ASCII "{{magic|TAG}}" appears beginning 128 bytes from the end of the file.

An MP3 file with an ID3v2 tag usually begins with ASCII "{{magic|ID3}}".

Alternatively, the signature "{{magic|3DI}}" could appear 10 bytes from the ''end'' of the file, or 138 bytes from the end of the file if there is also an ID3v1 tag. This is much less likely.

There are other (rare) ways to use ID3v2, not covered by the above identification logic.

=== How to skip past an ID3v2 segment ===
To identify an audio file's format, it is best to skip past any ID3v2 segment at the beginning of the file before looking for a magic signature, and not just assume that ID3 implies MP3. Unfortunately, doing so is not trivial. Here is an attempt to summarize the algorithm:
* Let OFFSET = 0.
* Read and remember the first 10 bytes of the file.
* If bytes 0-2 are not ASCII "ID3", stop. An ID3v2 segment is not present.
* Let OFFSET = 10 (for the 10-byte header).
* Decode bytes 6-9 as a 32-bit "synchsafe int" (refer to any ID3v2 spec). Let OFFSET = OFFSET + this decoded int.
* If the 0x10 bit of byte 5 is set, let OFFSET = OFFSET + 10 (for the footer).
OFFSET is now the file offset of the payload audio data.

'''MP3''' is the name commonly given to the audio formats specified by [[MPEG-1]] Layer III and [[MPEG-2]] Layer III, standardized as ISO/IEC 11172-3:1993. It uses lossy compressed data. It is based in part on work by the Fraunhofer Institute, which held patents in the format. Other companies may also have held patents encumbering its implementation. One of the relevant patents was [http://www.google.com/patents/US5812672 U.S. Patent 5,812,672], which expired in September 2015; many other related patents in various countries expired earlier. The final expiration of all relevant patents took until 2017, however, due to some "submarine patents" which were kept in the application process for years, extending their expiration dates.

A modified version of [[DCT compression]] (Discrete cosine transform) is used, a lossy compression method also used in [[JPEG]] images.

The MP3 format (and other related ones) is standardized in ISO/IEC 11172-3:1993, with some additions in ISO/IEC 13818-3:1995.

[[ID3]] tags are often used to provide metadata in MP3 files, though they aren't part of the MP3 specification.

'''XBIN''' ('''eXtended BIN''') is a character graphics format. Its purpose is similar to that of [[ANSI Art]]. It was designed to be a successor to [[BIN (Binary Text)|BIN]] format. It uses a specialized [[Run-length encoding|RLE]] compression algorithm.

It is closely tied to the capabilities of the text modes of VGA graphics cards. The font can be customized. Though limited to 16 colors, a custom palette can be used.

'''Exchangeable image file format''' ('''Exif''') is a standard for storing metadata in image and audio files.

The Exif specification defines limited subsets of [[TIFF]], [[JPEG]], and [[WAV]] formats, and adds a standard way to store metadata in such files. Although it may be technically inaccurate, it's natural to think of Exif as the metadata format that is embedded in such files (instead of the files as a whole). And in practice, Exif metadata is sometimes used in files that do not conform to the specification, or in file formats that are not in the specification.

== Related formats ==

* For [[TIFF]] format, Exif defines a number of new TIFF tags, which are integrated into the TIFF file in IFDs that are pointed to by TIFF tags 34665, 34853, and 40965.

* In [[JPEG]] (and other image?) files, Exif data is stored in what amounts to an embedded TIFF file. The data is structurally valid TIFF data, though it would not make a fully valid TIFF file because it does not have a primary image. An APP1 marker with the identifier "Exif" is used for Exif data.

* For some reason, the Exif specification defines a way to store [[FlashPix]] data in Exif-conformant JPEG files. APP2 markers with the identifier "FPXR" are used. This uses a completely different data format, unrelated to TIFF.

* [[WAV]]
* [[DCF]]
* [[MakerNote]]
* Many [[Cameras and Digital Image Sensors|raw camera formats]] include Exif metadata.

'''Extensible Metadata Platform''' ('''XMP''') is a metadata standard that can be used with a variety of file formats. When stored in a file, it is usually represented in a text format based on [[XML]].

== Related formats ==

The XMP Specification (Part 3) defines how to embed XMP in some popular file formats.

* In a [[TIFF]] file, tag 700 is used.
* In a [[JPEG]] file, an APP1 segment with identifier <nowiki>"http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/"</nowiki> is used.
* In a [[PNG]] file, an iTXt chunk with keyword "XML:com.adobe.xmp" is used.
* In a [[JPEG 2000]] file, XMP is stored in a "uuid" box with a particular ID. Apparently, it may also be stored in an "xml " box.

[[IPTC]] is a metadata format used in some types of image files, named after the International Press Telecommunications Council, which developed this standard, intended to be used in the news media industry for pictures transmitted in conjunction with news stories with accompanying captions and other information. It is sometimes referred to as '''IPTC-NAA''' because the Newspaper Association of America is also involved in developing these standards.

== Format ==

Structurally, IPTC is a sequence of data blocks, which the specification calls "DataSets". Each DataSet contains a 1-byte "record number" and a 1-byte "DataSet number", which together indicate the type of data stored in that DataSet.

Take note of DataSet {1, 90} (Coded Character Set), which indicates the [[Character Encodings|character encoding]] used in other DataSets.

Multi-byte integers use [[Endianness|big-endian]] byte order.

== Related formats ==

* In a [[TIFF]] file, IPTC uses tag 33723.
* IPTC may be embedded in [[Photoshop Image Resources]] metadata, with Resource ID 0x0404.
* [[JPEG]] files often contain IPTC embedded in [[Photoshop Image Resources]].

'''Segmented Hypergraphics''' ('''SHG'''), and its alter-ego '''Multiple Resolution Bitmap''' ('''MRB'''), are graphics formats used almost exclusively in the development of [[HLP (WinHelp)]] files. An SHG/MRB file contains one or more images in a [[BMP]]-like format, or [[Windows Metafile|WMF]] format. It also contains information about regions of the images that should be treated as hyperlinks.

Loosely speaking, SHG files are supposed to contain a single image, while MRB files contain more than one image. In practice, neither the file extension nor the file signature can be relied upon to be consistent with the image count, so the definition of SHG vs. MRB may be a matter of opinion.

== Identification ==
SHG/MRB files begin with <code>6c 50</code> or <code>6c 70</code>.

[[APNG]] is an unofficial extension of the [[PNG]] image format. It supports animation similar to animated [[GIF]]. The Mozilla Corporation was involved in its development.

APNG files are valid PNG files. When an APNG file is viewed in a program that does not support the APNG extensions, it will appear as a still image chosen by the creator of the APNG file.

APNG supports 24-bit color and 8-bit transparency, whereas GIF supports 256 colors per image palette and binary transparency.

== Browser support ==
APNG is supported on Mozilla Firefox (Gecko layout engine) as of version 3.0 (June 17, 2008) and Safari (WebKit layout engine) as of version 8.0 (October 16, 2014). It's also supported on Firefox for Android and iOS Safari.

Blink layout engine based browsers like Google Chrome and Opera (post version 15) require an add-on to render APNG files.

It used to be supported natively on Opera (Presto layout engine) from version 9.5 (June 12, 2008) through version 12.17 (April 23, 2014).

Microsoft Internet Explorer (Trident layout engine) does not support APNG.

IPTC-IIM

{{FormatInfo
|formattype=electronic

}}
[[IPTC]] is a metadata format used in some types of image files, named after the International Press Telecommunications Council, which developed this standard, intended to be used in the news media industry for pictures transmitted in conjunction with news stories with accompanying captions and other information. It is sometimes referred to as '''IPTC-NAA''' because the Newspaper Association of America is also involved in developing these standards.

== Format ==

Structurally, IPTC is a sequence of data blocks, which the specification calls "DataSets". Each DataSet contains a 1-byte "record number" and a 1-byte "DataSet number", which together indicate the type of data stored in that DataSet.

Take note of DataSet {1, 90} (Coded Character Set), which indicates the [[Character Encodings|character encoding]] used in other DataSets.

Multi-byte integers use [[Endianness|big-endian]] byte order.

== Related formats ==

* In a [[TIFF]] file, IPTC uses tag 33723.
* IPTC may be embedded in [[Photoshop Image Resources]] metadata, with Resource ID 0x0404.
* [[JPEG]] files often contain IPTC embedded in [[Photoshop Image Resources]].

'''Exchangeable image file format''' ('''Exif''') is a standard for storing metadata in image and audio files.

The Exif specification defines limited subsets of [[TIFF]], [[JPEG]], and [[WAV]] formats, and adds a standard way to store metadata in such files. Although it may be technically inaccurate, it's natural to think of Exif as the metadata format that is embedded in such files (instead of the files as a whole). And in practice, Exif metadata is sometimes used in files that do not conform to the specification, or in file formats that are not in the specification.

== Related formats ==

* For [[TIFF]] format, Exif defines a number of new TIFF tags, which are integrated into the TIFF file in IFDs that are pointed to by TIFF tags 34665, 34853, and 40965.

* In [[JPEG]] (and other image?) files, Exif data is stored in what amounts to an embedded TIFF file. The data is structurally valid TIFF data, though it would not make a fully valid TIFF file because it does not have a primary image. An APP1 marker with the identifier "Exif" is used for Exif data.

* For some reason, the Exif specification defines a way to store [[FlashPix]] data in Exif-conformant JPEG files. APP2 markers with the identifier "FPXR" are used. This uses a completely different data format, unrelated to TIFF.

* [[WAV]]
* [[DCF]]
* [[MakerNote]]
* Many [[Cameras and Digital Image Sensors|raw camera formats]] include Exif metadata.

== Description ==

Sony Wave64 is an uncompressed audio file format designed to overcome some of the limitations of the [[WAV|RIFF/WAVE]] format defined by Microsoft. [[WAV|RIFF/WAVE]], due to its 32-bit nature, can only store up to 4GB of audio data in a single file. Wave64, as a 64-bit format, can store a rather more expansive 8,388,608 terabytes in a single file [http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation/default.aspx?Doc=SONAR%20X2&Lang=EN&Req=Recording.08.html] (subject, of course, to storage medium and filesystem restrictions!).

Other 64-bit formats include [[RF64]], defined by the European Broadcasting Union, and Apple's [[Core Audio Format]]

'''MP4''' usually refers to the multimedia file format defined in Part 14 (and to a lesser extent Part 1) of the MPEG-4 standard.

"MP4" could also mean the entire [[MPEG-4]] standard, or some other subset of MPEG-4. This article only covers the Part 14 file format.

MPEG-4 Part 14 is an application of [[ISO Base Media File Format|Part 12]]. The recommended extension for it is ".mp4", though ".m4a" is often used for audio-only files. It is standardized by ISO/IEC 14496-14.

Imgur uses an MP4 video format for converting animated [[GIF]]s uploaded by users into its own "[[GIFV]]" format, which is actually an MPR referenced in a video element of an [[HTML]] 5 document, which is served with a .gifv extension from their servers.

'''MPEG-1''' is a video and audio compressed stream standard which is part of the [[MPEG]] group of standards. It can be used in a variety of containers, resulting in various file types including the popular [[MP3]] audio format (which is based on Layer 3 of MPEG-1, and also Layer 3 of [[MPEG-2]]).

The later [[MPEG-2]] standard is an extension of MPEG-1.

The ISO/IEC-11172 group of standards, published between 1993 and 1998, give the details of the specifications.

This standard is old enough that any patents that may have encumbered it in the past are now expired. US patents [http://www.google.com/patents/US4472747 4,472,747] and [http://www.google.com/patents/US5214678 5,214,678] are such possibly-related but expired patents. Since MP3 audio uses things from MPEG-2, there are still some unexpired patents relevant to that.

'''BodyPaint 3D''' is an image and texture editor designed for use by 3D artists. Its native B3D format is apparently actually a 2D image format, but the images are intended to be imported into 3D modeling software for use on objects therein (where they are transformed to appear as if they are actually on a 3D object seen with proper perspective and angle).

This file format is unrelated to the [[Blitz3D Model]] format or [[BVE object formats]], which also use a .b3d extension.

'''AMOS Sprite Bank''' is a raster image file format associated with AMOS. See [[AMOS BASIC tokenized file]] for more information about AMOS. The format may also be known as '''Object Bank''' or '''Bob Bank'''.

[[AMOS Icon Bank]] is a very similar format. See also [[AMOS Picture Bank]].

Note that other types of AMOS files also use '''.abk''' filename extension.

== Identification ==
Files begin with ASCII characters "<code>AmSp</code>".

== AMOS Sprite/Icon Bank format ==
A sprite bank and an icon bank share very similar attributes. They define graphic data which can be drawn onscreen. They have this format:

{|class="wikitable"
!Field!!Length
|-
|Bank identifier: <samp>AmSp</samp> for sprites (bank 1) or <samp>AmIc</samp> for icons (bank 2)
|4 bytes
|-
|Count of sprites/icons to follow
|2 bytes
|-
|Sprites/Icons. Each sprite or icon has this format:
* 2 bytes: <var>width</var>, in 16-bit words (multiply by 16 to get width in pixels)
* 2 bytes: <var>height</var>, in raster lines (pixels)
* 2 bytes: <var>depth</var>, in bitplanes (1 to 5)
* 2 bytes: hot-spot X co-ordinate
* 2 bytes: hot-spot Y co-ordinate
* <var>width</var> * <var>height</var> * <var>depth</var> * 2 bytes: Amiga planar graphic data
|-
|Color palette: 32 16-bit colors in 0x0RGB form, the Amiga COLORx hardware register format
|64 bytes
|}
