BGR

Raw BGR raster image

Data type	Image
MIME type	image/x-bgr
Primary use cases	Intermediate image buffers, frame dumps, computer vision pipelines, raw pixel interchange between low-level tools

What is the BGR file format?

BGR is a raw, uncompressed raster pixel format where each pixel is stored in Blue-Green-Red byte order.

BGR file characteristics

Data type	Image
MIME type	image/x-bgr
Compression	None (uncompressed)
Color depth	Typically 8-bit per channel (24-bit color); no alpha in the BGR variant
Color space	RGB (typically sRGB); channel byte order is BGR
Transparency support	No
Animation support	No
Resolution support	Any (externally defined)
EXIF / Metadata support	No
Metadata	None (no standard header/metadata; any metadata must be stored separately)
Typical file size	Depends on dimensions: width × height × 3 bytes for 8-bit BGR (e.g., 1920×1080 ≈ 6,220,800 bytes ≈ 5.93 MiB)

Advantages

The BGR file format offers several advantages that make it suitable for common use cases.

Very simple layout;
Lossless (no compression artifacts);
Fast to write/read in pipelines;
Easy to map to memory buffers

Limitations

The BGR file format has certain limitations that may affect its use in specific scenarios.

Requires external knowledge of dimensions/bit depth/stride;
No standard metadata;
Poor interoperability for end users

Compatibility

BGR images are widely supported and can be viewed on most devices and platforms.

Browser support: No
Mobile support: No

Security considerations

Main risks come from importing with wrong dimensions/stride leading to excessive memory use or crashes in decoders; keep image tools updated

BGR is a raw (headerless) bitmap layout that stores image pixels as sequential bytes, typically 8-bit per channel in Blue–Green–Red order (3 bytes per pixel). Because the file contains no metadata or header, dimensions (width/height), bit depth, and any row padding/stride must be known externally to decode it correctly. BGR is commonly used as an intermediate representation in imaging and computer-vision pipelines and is supported by tools that can import raw pixel data (e.g., ImageMagick).
