Which image file formats ConTeXt can process, depends on the TeX program:


Processor EPSF PDF MetaPost TIFF PNG JPEG/JFIF MOV/Quicktime Other
LuaTeX (Mk IV) + + + + (incl. 2000) + SVG°
pdfTeX (Mk II) + + + + +
XeTeX (Mk II)°° + + + + + BMP
dvips + + +
dvipsone + + + +

Generally leave out the file extension in your TeX code!

pdf(e)TeX canceled processing TIFF format from v. 1.0, since there are too much variants to support them all.

dvips or dvipsone aren't use any more with ConTeXt.

° SVG is not supported natively by Mk II, see SVG for a workaround. LuaTeX's SVG support is via preprocessing and limited.

°° XeTeX via xdvipdfmx; the older xdv2pdf supported additionally MAC, PICT, PSD, SGI, TIF, GIF.
