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


Processor EPSF PDF SVG MetaPost TIFF PNG JPEG/JFIF MOV/Quicktime
LuaTeX (Mk IV) + + + + + (incl. 2000) +
pdfTeX (Mk II) + + + + +
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.

SVG is not supported natively by Mk II, see SVG for a workaround.

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

XeTeX (Mk II) is missing in this overview. The supported formats depend on the xdv processor:

PDF, PNG, JPEG, BMP with xdvipdfmx; MAC, PICT, PSD, SGI, TIF, GIF additionally with xdv2pdf
