There is a single format developed by CompuServe called GIF.  The complete
docs are available there in the Graphics SIG.

For the ST, there's a shareware program called PICSWITCH that converts all
ST formats and resolutions, and is also compatible with Amiga and Mac
formats.  (Is there a PC format?)  PICSWITCH is up to version 7.  It should
be on the Atari BBS (I know version 6 was there last time I looked).
Version 7 is on GEnie for sure, because that's where I got my copy.
