FaceSaver is a format for saving images in the form of an ASCII text file for distribution. It is unrelated to the Remington FaceSaver pre-shave powder. Images are 8 bits per pixel, stored in hexified manner (which takes twice the bits). There are also some header lines.

Pictures of attendees at USENIX conferences were taken in this format starting 1987 and stored in a public database.
