Formats
Supported buffer and image formats may vary across implementations. A minimum set of format features are guaranteed, but others must be explicitly queried before use to ensure they are supported by the implementation.
The features for the set of formats (VkFormat) supported by the implementation are queried individually using the vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties command.
Format Definition
The following image formats can be passed to, and may be returned from Vulkan commands. The memory required to store each format is discussed with that format, and also summarized in the Representation and Texel Block Size section and the Compatible formats table.

Individual planes of multi-planar formats are size-compatible with single-plane color formats if they occupy the same number of bits per texel block, and are compatible with those formats if they have the same block extent.
In the following table, individual planes of a multi-planar format are compatible with the format listed against the relevant plane index for that multi-planar format, and any format compatible with the listed single-plane format according to Format Compatibility Classes. These planes are also size-compatible with any format that is size-compatible with the listed single-plane format.

Identification of Formats
A “format” is represented by a single enum value. The name of a format is usually built up by using the following pattern:
VK_FORMAT_{component-format|compression-scheme}_{numeric-format}
The component-format indicates either the size of the R, G, B, and A components (if they are present) in the case of a color format, or the size of the depth (D) and stencil (S) components (if they are present) in the case of a depth/stencil format (see below). An X indicates a component that is unused, but may be present for padding.
Numeric format | Type-Declaration instructions | Numeric type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
|
OpTypeFloat |
floating-point |
The components are unsigned normalized values in the range [0,1] |
|
OpTypeFloat |
floating-point |
The components are signed normalized values in the range [-1,1] |
|
OpTypeFloat |
floating-point |
The components are unsigned integer values that get converted to floating-point in the range [0,2n-1] |
|
OpTypeFloat |
floating-point |
The components are signed integer values that get converted to floating-point in the range [-2n-1,2n-1-1] |
|
OpTypeInt |
unsigned integer |
The components are unsigned integer values in the range [0,2n-1] |
|
OpTypeInt |
signed integer |
The components are signed integer values in the range [-2n-1,2n-1-1] |
|
OpTypeFloat |
floating-point |
The components are unsigned floating-point numbers (used by packed, shared exponent, and some compressed formats) |
|
OpTypeFloat |
floating-point |
The components are signed floating-point numbers |
|
OpTypeFloat |
floating-point |
The R, G, and B components are unsigned normalized values that represent values using sRGB nonlinear encoding, while the A component (if one exists) is a regular unsigned normalized value |
|
OpTypeInt |
scaled signed integer |
The components are signed fractional integer values that get converted to floating-point in the range [-1024,1023.96875] |
n is the number of bits in the component. |
The suffix _PACKnn
indicates that the format is packed into an
underlying type with nn
bits.
The suffix _mPACKnn
is a short-hand that indicates that the format has
m
groups of components (which may or may not be stored in separate
planes) that are each packed into an underlying type with nn
bits.
The suffix _BLOCK
indicates that the format is a block-compressed
format, with the representation of multiple pixels encoded interdependently
within a region.
Compression scheme | Description |
---|---|
|
Block Compression. See Block-Compressed Image Formats. |
|
Ericsson Texture Compression. See ETC Compressed Image Formats. |
|
ETC2 Alpha Compression. See ETC Compressed Image Formats. |
|
Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression (LDR Profile). See ASTC Compressed Image Formats. |
For multi-planar images, the components in separate planes are separated
by underscores, and the number of planes is indicated by the addition of a
_2PLANE
or _3PLANE
suffix.
Similarly, the separate aspects of depth-stencil formats are separated by
underscores, although these are not considered separate planes.
Formats are suffixed by _422
to indicate that planes other than the
first are reduced in size by a factor of two horizontally or that the R and
B values appear at half the horizontal frequency of the G values, _420
to indicate that planes other than the first are reduced in size by a factor
of two both horizontally and vertically, and _444
for consistency to
indicate that all three planes of a three-planar image are the same size.
No common format has a single plane containing both R and B components but does not store these components at reduced horizontal resolution. |
Representation and Texel Block Size
Color formats must be represented in memory in exactly the form indicated by the format’s name. This means that promoting one format to another with more bits per component and/or additional components must not occur for color formats. Depth/stencil formats have more relaxed requirements as discussed below.
Each format has a texel block size, the number of bytes used to store one texel block (a single addressable element of an uncompressed image, or a single compressed block of a compressed image). The texel block size for each format is shown in the Compatible formats table.
The representation of non-packed formats is that the first component specified in the name of the format is in the lowest memory addresses and the last component specified is in the highest memory addresses. See Byte mappings for non-packed/compressed color formats. The in-memory ordering of bytes within a component is determined by the host endianness.

Packed formats store multiple components within one underlying type. The bit representation is that the first component specified in the name of the format is in the most-significant bits and the last component specified is in the least-significant bits of the underlying type. The in-memory ordering of bytes comprising the underlying type is determined by the host endianness.

Depth/Stencil Formats
Depth/stencil formats are considered opaque and need not be stored in the exact number of bits per texel or component ordering indicated by the format enum. However, implementations must not substitute a different depth or stencil precision than is described in the format (e.g. D16 must not be implemented as D24 or D32).
Format Compatibility Classes
Uncompressed color formats are compatible with each other if they occupy
the same number of bits per texel block
as long as neither or both are alpha formats (e.g.,
VK_FORMAT_A8_UNORM_KHR
)
.
Compressed color formats are compatible with each other if the only
difference between them is the numeric format of
the uncompressed pixels.
Each depth/stencil format is only compatible with itself.
In the following table, all the formats in the
same row are compatible.
Each format has a defined texel block extent specifying how many texels
each texel block represents in each dimension.

Size Compatibility
Color formats with the same texel block size are considered
size-compatible as long as neither or both are alpha formats (e.g.,
VK_FORMAT_A8_UNORM_KHR
).
If two size-compatible formats have different block extents (i.e. for
compressed formats), then an image with size A × B × C in
one format with a block extent of a × b × c can be
represented as an image with size X × Y × Z in the other
format with block extent x × y × z at the ratio between
the block extents for each format, where
-
⌈A/a⌉ = ⌈X/x⌉
-
⌈B/b⌉ = ⌈Y/y⌉
-
⌈C/c⌉ = ⌈Z/z⌉
For example, a 7x3 image in the |
Images created with the
VK_IMAGE_CREATE_BLOCK_TEXEL_VIEW_COMPATIBLE_BIT
flag can have
size-compatible views created from them to enable access via different
size-compatible formats.
Image views created in this way will be sized to match the expectations of
the block extents noted above.
Copy operations are able to copy between size-compatible formats in different resources to enable manipulation of data in different formats. The extent used in these copy operations always matches the source image, and is resized to the expectations of the block extents noted above for the destination image.
Format Properties
To query supported format features which are properties of the physical device, call:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
void vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties(
VkPhysicalDevice physicalDevice,
VkFormat format,
VkFormatProperties* pFormatProperties);
-
physicalDevice
is the physical device from which to query the format properties. -
format
is the format whose properties are queried. -
pFormatProperties
is a pointer to a VkFormatProperties structure in which physical device properties forformat
are returned.
The VkFormatProperties
structure is defined as:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
typedef struct VkFormatProperties {
VkFormatFeatureFlags linearTilingFeatures;
VkFormatFeatureFlags optimalTilingFeatures;
VkFormatFeatureFlags bufferFeatures;
} VkFormatProperties;
-
linearTilingFeatures
is a bitmask of VkFormatFeatureFlagBits specifying features supported by images created with atiling
parameter ofVK_IMAGE_TILING_LINEAR
. -
optimalTilingFeatures
is a bitmask of VkFormatFeatureFlagBits specifying features supported by images created with atiling
parameter ofVK_IMAGE_TILING_OPTIMAL
. -
bufferFeatures
is a bitmask of VkFormatFeatureFlagBits specifying features supported by buffers.
If no format feature flags are supported, the format itself is not supported, and images of that format cannot be created. |
If format
is a block-compressed format, then bufferFeatures
must not support any features for the format.
If format
is not a multi-plane format then linearTilingFeatures
and optimalTilingFeatures
must not contain
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_DISJOINT_BIT
.

typedef VkFlags VkFormatFeatureFlags;
VkFormatFeatureFlags
is a bitmask type for setting a mask of zero or
more VkFormatFeatureFlagBits.
To query supported format features which are properties of the physical device, call:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
void vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties2(
VkPhysicalDevice physicalDevice,
VkFormat format,
VkFormatProperties2* pFormatProperties);
or the equivalent command
// Provided by VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2
void vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties2KHR(
VkPhysicalDevice physicalDevice,
VkFormat format,
VkFormatProperties2* pFormatProperties);
-
physicalDevice
is the physical device from which to query the format properties. -
format
is the format whose properties are queried. -
pFormatProperties
is a pointer to a VkFormatProperties2 structure in which physical device properties forformat
are returned.
vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties2
behaves similarly to
vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties, with the ability to return
extended information in a pNext
chain of output structures.
The VkFormatProperties2
structure is defined as:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
typedef struct VkFormatProperties2 {
VkStructureType sType;
void* pNext;
VkFormatProperties formatProperties;
} VkFormatProperties2;
or the equivalent
// Provided by VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2
typedef VkFormatProperties2 VkFormatProperties2KHR;
-
sType
is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure. -
pNext
isNULL
or a pointer to a structure extending this structure. -
formatProperties
is a VkFormatProperties structure describing features supported by the requested format.
To obtain the list of Linux DRM format modifiers compatible with a VkFormat, add a
VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesListEXT structure to the pNext
chain of VkFormatProperties2.
The VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesListEXT structure is defined as:
// Provided by VK_EXT_image_drm_format_modifier
typedef struct VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesListEXT {
VkStructureType sType;
void* pNext;
uint32_t drmFormatModifierCount;
VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesEXT* pDrmFormatModifierProperties;
} VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesListEXT;
-
sType
is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure. -
pNext
isNULL
or a pointer to a structure extending this structure. -
drmFormatModifierCount
is an inout parameter related to the number of modifiers compatible with theformat
, as described below. -
pDrmFormatModifierProperties
is eitherNULL
or a pointer to an array of VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesEXT structures.
If pDrmFormatModifierProperties
is NULL
, then the function returns
in drmFormatModifierCount
the number of modifiers compatible with the
queried format
.
Otherwise, the application must set drmFormatModifierCount
to the
length of the array pDrmFormatModifierProperties
; the function will
write at most drmFormatModifierCount
elements to the array, and will
return in drmFormatModifierCount
the number of elements written.
Among the elements in array pDrmFormatModifierProperties
, each
returned drmFormatModifier
must be unique.
The VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesEXT structure describes properties of a VkFormat when that format is combined with a Linux DRM format modifier. These properties, like those of VkFormatProperties2, are independent of any particular image.
The VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesEXT structure is defined as:
// Provided by VK_EXT_image_drm_format_modifier
typedef struct VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesEXT {
uint64_t drmFormatModifier;
uint32_t drmFormatModifierPlaneCount;
VkFormatFeatureFlags drmFormatModifierTilingFeatures;
} VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesEXT;
-
drmFormatModifier
is a Linux DRM format modifier. -
drmFormatModifierPlaneCount
is the number of memory planes in any image created withformat
anddrmFormatModifier
. An image’s memory planecount is distinct from its format planecount, as explained below. -
drmFormatModifierTilingFeatures
is a bitmask of VkFormatFeatureFlagBits that are supported by any image created withformat
anddrmFormatModifier
.
The returned drmFormatModifierTilingFeatures
must contain at least
one bit.
The implementation must not return DRM_FORMAT_MOD_INVALID
in
drmFormatModifier
.
An image’s memory planecount (as returned by
drmFormatModifierPlaneCount
) is distinct from its format planecount
(in the sense of multi-planar
Y′CBCR formats).
In VkImageAspectFlags, each
VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_MEMORY_PLANE_i_BIT_EXT
represents a memory plane
and each VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_i_BIT
a format plane.
An image’s set of format planes is an ordered partition of the image’s
content into separable groups of format components.
The ordered partition is encoded in the name of each VkFormat.
For example, VK_FORMAT_G8_B8R8_2PLANE_420_UNORM
contains two format
planes; the first plane contains the green component and the second plane
contains the blue component and red component.
If the format name does not contain PLANE
, then the format contains a
single plane; for example, VK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM
.
Some commands, such as vkCmdCopyBufferToImage, do not operate on all
format components in the image, but instead operate only on the format
planes explicitly chosen by the application and operate on each format
plane independently.
An image’s set of memory planes is an ordered partition of the image’s memory rather than the image’s content. Each memory plane is a contiguous range of memory. The union of an image’s memory planes is not necessarily contiguous.
If an image is linear, then the partition is
the same for memory planes and for format planes.
Therefore, if the returned drmFormatModifier
is
DRM_FORMAT_MOD_LINEAR
, then drmFormatModifierPlaneCount
must
equal the format planecount, and drmFormatModifierTilingFeatures
must be identical to the
VkFormatProperties2::linearTilingFeatures
returned in the same
pNext
chain.
If an image is non-linear, then the partition
of the image’s memory into memory planes is implementation-specific and
may be unrelated to the partition of the image’s content into format
planes.
For example, consider an image whose format
is
VK_FORMAT_G8_B8_R8_3PLANE_420_UNORM
, tiling
is
VK_IMAGE_TILING_DRM_FORMAT_MODIFIER_EXT
, whose drmFormatModifier
is not DRM_FORMAT_MOD_LINEAR
, and flags
lacks
VK_IMAGE_CREATE_DISJOINT_BIT
.
The image has 3 format planes, and commands such
vkCmdCopyBufferToImage act on each format plane independently as if
the data of each format plane were separable from the data of the other
planes.
In a straightforward implementation, the implementation may store the
image’s content in 3 adjacent memory planes where each memory plane
corresponds exactly to a format plane.
However, the implementation may also store the image’s content in a single
memory plane where all format components are combined using an
implementation-private block-compressed format; or the implementation may
store the image’s content in a collection of 7 adjacent memory planes
using an implementation-private sharding technique.
Because the image is non-linear and non-disjoint, the implementation has
much freedom when choosing the image’s placement in memory.
The memory planecount applies to function parameters and structures only
when the API specifies an explicit requirement on
drmFormatModifierPlaneCount
.
In all other cases, the memory planecount is ignored.
The list of Linux DRM format modifiers
compatible with a VkFormat can be obtained by adding a
VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesList2EXT structure to the pNext
chain of VkFormatProperties2.
The VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesList2EXT structure is defined as:
// Provided by VK_EXT_image_drm_format_modifier with VK_KHR_format_feature_flags2 or VK_VERSION_1_3
typedef struct VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesList2EXT {
VkStructureType sType;
void* pNext;
uint32_t drmFormatModifierCount;
VkDrmFormatModifierProperties2EXT* pDrmFormatModifierProperties;
} VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesList2EXT;
-
sType
is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure. -
pNext
isNULL
or a pointer to a structure extending this structure. -
drmFormatModifierCount
is an inout parameter related to the number of modifiers compatible with theformat
, as described below. -
pDrmFormatModifierProperties
is eitherNULL
or a pointer to an array of VkDrmFormatModifierProperties2EXT structures.
If pDrmFormatModifierProperties
is NULL
, the number of modifiers
compatible with the queried format
is returned in
drmFormatModifierCount
.
Otherwise, the application must set drmFormatModifierCount
to the
length of the array pDrmFormatModifierProperties
; the function will
write at most drmFormatModifierCount
elements to the array, and will
return in drmFormatModifierCount
the number of elements written.
Among the elements in array pDrmFormatModifierProperties
, each
returned drmFormatModifier
must be unique.
Among the elements in array pDrmFormatModifierProperties
, the bits
reported in drmFormatModifierTilingFeatures
must include the bits
reported in the corresponding element of
VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesListEXT
::pDrmFormatModifierProperties
.

:
-
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER_BIT
specifies that the format can be used to create a buffer view that can be bound to aVK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER

is a bitmask type for setting a mask of zero or
more VkFormatFeatureFlagBits2.
To query the performance characteristics of a subpass resolve operation for an attachment with a VkFormat, add a
VkSubpassResolvePerformanceQueryEXT structure to the pNext
chain
of VkFormatProperties2.
The VkSubpassResolvePerformanceQueryEXT structure is defined as:
// Provided by VK_EXT_multisampled_render_to_single_sampled
typedef struct VkSubpassResolvePerformanceQueryEXT {
VkStructureType sType;
void* pNext;
VkBool32 optimal;
} VkSubpassResolvePerformanceQueryEXT;
-
sType
is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure. -
pNext
isNULL
or a pointer to a structure extending this structure. -
optimal
specifies that a subpass resolve operation is optimally performed.
If optimal
is VK_FALSE
for a VkFormat, using a subpass
resolve operation on a multisampled attachment with this format can incur
additional costs, including additional memory bandwidth usage and a higher
memory footprint.
If an attachment with such a format is used in a
multisampled-render-to-single-sampled
subpass, the additional memory and memory bandwidth usage can nullify the
benefits of using the VK_EXT_multisampled_render_to_single_sampled
extension.
Potential Format Features
Some valid usage conditions depend on the format features supported by a VkImage whose VkImageTiling is unknown. In such cases the exact VkFormatFeatureFlagBits supported by the VkImage cannot be determined, so the valid usage conditions are expressed in terms of the potential format features of the VkImage format.
The potential format features of a VkFormat are defined as follows:
-
The union of VkFormatFeatureFlagBits and VkFormatFeatureFlagBits2, supported when the VkImageTiling is
VK_IMAGE_TILING_OPTIMAL
,VK_IMAGE_TILING_DRM_FORMAT_MODIFIER_EXT
, orVK_IMAGE_TILING_LINEAR
if VkFormat is notVK_FORMAT_UNDEFINED
-
VkAndroidHardwareBufferFormatPropertiesANDROID::
formatFeatures
and VkAndroidHardwareBufferFormatProperties2ANDROID::formatFeatures
of a valid external format if VkFormat isVK_FORMAT_UNDEFINED
-
VkScreenBufferFormatPropertiesQNX::
formatFeatures
of a valid external format if VkFormat isVK_FORMAT_UNDEFINED
Required Format Support
Implementations must support at least the following set of features on the listed formats. For images, these features must be supported for every VkImageType (including arrayed and cube variants) unless otherwise noted. These features are supported on existing formats without needing to advertise an extension or needing to explicitly enable them. Support for additional functionality beyond the requirements listed here is queried using the vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties command.
Unless otherwise excluded below, the required formats are supported for all VkImageCreateFlags values as long as those flag values are otherwise allowed. |
The following tables show which feature bits must be supported for each
format.
Formats that are required to support
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT
must also support
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_TRANSFER_SRC_BIT
and
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_TRANSFER_DST_BIT
.

This list of formats is the union of required storage formats from
Required Format Support section and
formats listed in |
An implementation that supports VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_STORAGE_IMAGE_BIT
for any format from the given list of formats and supports
shaderStorageImageReadWithoutFormat
must support
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_STORAGE_READ_WITHOUT_FORMAT_BIT
for that same
format if Vulkan 1.3 or the VK_KHR_format_feature_flags2
extension
is supported.
An implementation that supports VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_STORAGE_IMAGE_BIT
for any format from the given list of formats and supports
shaderStorageImageWriteWithoutFormat
must support
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_STORAGE_WRITE_WITHOUT_FORMAT_BIT
for that same
format if Vulkan 1.3 or the VK_KHR_format_feature_flags2
extension
is supported.
An implementation that does not support either of
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_STORAGE_READ_WITHOUT_FORMAT_BIT
or
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_STORAGE_WRITE_WITHOUT_FORMAT_BIT
for a format
must not report support for VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_STORAGE_IMAGE_BIT
or
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_STORAGE_TEXEL_BUFFER_BIT
for that format if it is
not listed in the SPIR-V and Vulkan Image Format Compatibility table.
Some older implementations do not follow this restriction.
They report support for formats as storage images even though they do not
support access without the Drivers which pass Vulkan conformance test suite version 1.3.9.0, or any subsequent version will conform to the requirement above. |
Depth Comparison Format Support
If Vulkan 1.3 or the VK_KHR_format_feature_flags2
extension is
supported, a depth/stencil format with a depth component supporting
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT
must support
VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_SAMPLED_IMAGE_DEPTH_COMPARISON_BIT
.
Format Feature Dependent Usage Flags
Certain resource usage flags depend on support for the corresponding format feature flag for the format in question. The following tables list the VkBufferUsageFlagBits and VkImageUsageFlagBits that have such dependencies, and the format feature flags they depend on. Additional restrictions, including, but not limited to, further required format feature flags specific to the particular use of the resource may apply, as described in the respective sections of this specification.
