A content format is a system of converting data to information. Content formats are used in recording and transmission to prepare data for observation or interpretation.[1][2] Observable data is often known as raw data, or raw content.[3] In addition to converting data to information, a content format may include the encryption and/or scrambling of that information. [4]

There has been a countless number of content formats throughout history. The following are examples of some common content formats and content format categories:
