| 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 |
BGR is a raw, uncompressed raster pixel format where each pixel is stored in Blue-Green-Red byte order.
| 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) |
The BGR file format offers several advantages that make it suitable for common use cases.
The BGR file format has certain limitations that may affect its use in specific scenarios.
BGR images are widely supported and can be viewed on most devices and platforms.
Main risks come from importing with wrong dimensions/stride leading to excessive memory use or crashes in decoders; keep image tools updated
