## 47. 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.

### 47.1. 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.

#### 47.1.4. 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.

Table 57. Interpretation of Numeric Format
Numeric format | Type-Declaration instructions | Numeric type | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
`UNORM` | OpTypeFloat | floating-point | The components are unsigned normalized values in the range [0,1]
`SNORM` | OpTypeFloat | floating-point | The components are signed normalized values in the range [-1,1]
`USCALED` | OpTypeFloat | floating-point | The components are unsigned integer values that get converted to floating-point in the range [0,2n-1]
`SSCALED` | OpTypeFloat | floating-point | The components are signed integer values that get converted to floating-point in the range [-2n-1,2n-1-1]
`UINT` | OpTypeInt | unsigned integer | The components are unsigned integer values in the range [0,2n-1]
`SINT` | OpTypeInt | signed integer | The components are signed integer values in the range [-2n-1,2n-1-1]
`UFLOAT` | OpTypeFloat | floating-point | The components are unsigned floating-point numbers (used by packed, shared exponent, and some compressed formats)
`SFLOAT` | OpTypeFloat | floating-point | The components are signed floating-point numbers
`SRGB` | 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
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.

Table 58. Interpretation of Compression Scheme
Compression scheme | Description
--- | ---
`BC` | Block Compression. See Block-Compressed Image Formats.
`ETC2` | Ericsson Texture Compression. See ETC Compressed Image Formats.
`EAC` | ETC2 Alpha Compression. See ETC Compressed Image Formats.
`ASTC` | 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.

| Note No common format has a single plane containing both R and B components but does not store these components at reduced horizontal resolution.

#### 47.1.5. 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.

`VK_FORMAT_R64G64B64A64_*` as `VK_FORMAT_R64G64B64_*` but with A in bytes 24-31

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.

#### 47.1.6. 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).

#### 47.1.7. Format Compatibility Classes

Uncompressed color formats are compatible with each other if they occupy the same number of bits per texel block. 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. 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⌉

| Note For example, a 7x3 image in the `VK_FORMAT_ASTC_8x5_UNORM_BLOCK` format can be represented as a 1x1 `VK_FORMAT_R64G64_UINT` image.

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.

### 47.2. 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 for `format` are returned.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties-physicalDevice-parameter
  `physicalDevice` must be a valid VkPhysicalDevice handle

- VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties-format-parameter
  `format` must be a valid VkFormat value

- VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties-pFormatProperties-parameter
  `pFormatProperties` must be a valid pointer to a VkFormatProperties structure

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 a `tiling` parameter of `VK_IMAGE_TILING_LINEAR`.

- `optimalTilingFeatures` is a bitmask of VkFormatFeatureFlagBits specifying features supported by images created with a `tiling` parameter of `VK_IMAGE_TILING_OPTIMAL`.

- `bufferFeatures` is a bitmask of VkFormatFeatureFlagBits specifying features supported by buffers.

| Note 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`.

Bits which can be set in the VkFormatProperties features `linearTilingFeatures`, `optimalTilingFeatures`, VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesEXT::`drmFormatModifierTilingFeatures`, and `bufferFeatures` are:

These values all have the same meaning as the equivalently named values for VkFormatFeatureFlags2 and may be set in `linearTilingFeatures`, `optimalTilingFeatures`, and VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesEXT::`drmFormatModifierTilingFeatures`, specifying that the features are supported by images or image views or sampler Y′CBCR conversion objects created with the queried vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties::`format`:

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT` specifies that an image view can be sampled from.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_STORAGE_IMAGE_BIT` specifies that an image view can be used as a storage image.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_STORAGE_IMAGE_ATOMIC_BIT` specifies that an image view can be used as storage image that supports atomic operations.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_BIT` specifies that an image view can be used as a framebuffer color attachment and as an input attachment.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_BLEND_BIT` specifies that an image view can be used as a framebuffer color attachment that supports blending.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_BIT` specifies that an image view can be used as a framebuffer depth/stencil attachment and as an input attachment.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_BLIT_SRC_BIT` specifies that an image can be used as `srcImage` for the `vkCmdBlitImage2` and `vkCmdBlitImage` commands.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_BLIT_DST_BIT` specifies that an image can be used as `dstImage` for the `vkCmdBlitImage2` and `vkCmdBlitImage` commands.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_FILTER_LINEAR_BIT` specifies that if `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT` is also set, an image view can be used with a sampler that has either of `magFilter` or `minFilter` set to `VK_FILTER_LINEAR`, or `mipmapMode` set to `VK_SAMPLER_MIPMAP_MODE_LINEAR`. If `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_BLIT_SRC_BIT` is also set, an image can be used as the `srcImage` to `vkCmdBlitImage2` and `vkCmdBlitImage` with a `filter` of `VK_FILTER_LINEAR`. This bit must only be exposed for formats that also support the `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT` or `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_BLIT_SRC_BIT`.

  If the format being queried is a depth/stencil format, this bit only specifies that the depth aspect (not the stencil aspect) of an image of this format supports linear filtering, and that linear filtering of the depth aspect is supported whether depth compare is enabled in the sampler or not. Where depth comparison is supported it may be linear filtered whether this bit is present or not, but where this bit is not present the filtered value may be computed in an implementation-dependent manner which differs from the normal rules of linear filtering. The resulting value must be in the range [0,1] and should be proportional to, or a weighted average of, the number of comparison passes or failures.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_TRANSFER_SRC_BIT` specifies that an image can be used as a source image for copy commands. If the application `apiVersion` is Vulkan 1.0 and `VK_KHR_maintenance1` is not supported, `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_TRANSFER_SRC_BIT` is implied to be set when the format feature flag is not 0.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_TRANSFER_DST_BIT` specifies that an image can be used as a destination image for copy commands and clear commands. If the application `apiVersion` is Vulkan 1.0 and `VK_KHR_maintenance1` is not supported, `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_TRANSFER_DST_BIT` is implied to be set when the format feature flag is not 0.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_FILTER_MINMAX_BIT` specifies `VkImage` can be used as a sampled image with a min or max VkSamplerReductionMode. This bit must only be exposed for formats that also support the `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT`.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_FILTER_CUBIC_BIT_EXT` specifies that `VkImage` can be used with a sampler that has either of `magFilter` or `minFilter` set to `VK_FILTER_CUBIC_EXT`, or be the source image for a blit with `filter` set to `VK_FILTER_CUBIC_EXT`. This bit must only be exposed for formats that also support the `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT`. If the format being queried is a depth/stencil format, this only specifies that the depth aspect is cubic filterable.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_MIDPOINT_CHROMA_SAMPLES_BIT` specifies that an application can define a sampler Y′CBCR conversion using this format as a source, and that an image of this format can be used with a VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo `xChromaOffset` and/or `yChromaOffset` of `VK_CHROMA_LOCATION_MIDPOINT`. Otherwise both `xChromaOffset` and `yChromaOffset` must be `VK_CHROMA_LOCATION_COSITED_EVEN`. If a format does not incorporate chroma downsampling (it is not a “422” or “420” format) but the implementation supports sampler Y′CBCR conversion for this format, the implementation must set `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_MIDPOINT_CHROMA_SAMPLES_BIT`.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_COSITED_CHROMA_SAMPLES_BIT` specifies that an application can define a sampler Y′CBCR conversion using this format as a source, and that an image of this format can be used with a VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo `xChromaOffset` and/or `yChromaOffset` of `VK_CHROMA_LOCATION_COSITED_EVEN`. Otherwise both `xChromaOffset` and `yChromaOffset` must be `VK_CHROMA_LOCATION_MIDPOINT`. If neither `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_COSITED_CHROMA_SAMPLES_BIT` nor `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_MIDPOINT_CHROMA_SAMPLES_BIT` is set, the application must not define a sampler Y′CBCR conversion using this format as a source.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_YCBCR_CONVERSION_LINEAR_FILTER_BIT` specifies that an application can define a sampler Y′CBCR conversion using this format as a source with `chromaFilter` set to `VK_FILTER_LINEAR`.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_YCBCR_CONVERSION_SEPARATE_RECONSTRUCTION_FILTER_BIT` specifies that the format can have different chroma, min, and mag filters.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_YCBCR_CONVERSION_CHROMA_RECONSTRUCTION_EXPLICIT_BIT` specifies that reconstruction is explicit, as described in Chroma Reconstruction. If this bit is not present, reconstruction is implicit by default.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_YCBCR_CONVERSION_CHROMA_RECONSTRUCTION_EXPLICIT_FORCEABLE_BIT` specifies that reconstruction can be forcibly made explicit by setting VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo::`forceExplicitReconstruction` to `VK_TRUE`. If the format being queried supports `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_YCBCR_CONVERSION_CHROMA_RECONSTRUCTION_EXPLICIT_BIT` it must also support `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_YCBCR_CONVERSION_CHROMA_RECONSTRUCTION_EXPLICIT_FORCEABLE_BIT`.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_DISJOINT_BIT` specifies that a multi-planar image can have the `VK_IMAGE_CREATE_DISJOINT_BIT` set during image creation. An implementation must not set `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_DISJOINT_BIT` for single-plane formats.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_FRAGMENT_DENSITY_MAP_BIT_EXT` specifies that an image view can be used as a fragment density map attachment.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_ATTACHMENT_BIT_KHR` specifies that an image view can be used as a fragment shading rate attachment. An implementation must not set this feature for formats with a numeric format other than `UINT`, or set it as a buffer feature.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_VIDEO_DECODE_OUTPUT_BIT_KHR` specifies that an image view with this format can be used as a decode output picture in video decode operations.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_VIDEO_DECODE_DPB_BIT_KHR` specifies that an image view with this format can be used as an output reconstructed picture or an input reference picture in video decode operations.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_VIDEO_ENCODE_INPUT_BIT_KHR` specifies that an image view with this format can be used as an encode input picture in video encode operations.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_VIDEO_ENCODE_DPB_BIT_KHR` specifies that an image view with this format can be used as an output reconstructed picture or an input reference picture in video encode operations.

  | Note Specific video profiles may have additional restrictions on the format and other image creation parameters corresponding to image views used by video coding operations that can be enumerated using the vkGetPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatPropertiesKHR command.

The following bits may be set in `bufferFeatures`, specifying that the features are supported by buffers or buffer views created with the queried vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties::`format`:

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER_BIT` specifies that the format can be used to create a buffer view that can be bound to a `VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER` descriptor.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_STORAGE_TEXEL_BUFFER_BIT` specifies that the format can be used to create a buffer view that can be bound to a `VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_TEXEL_BUFFER` descriptor.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_STORAGE_TEXEL_BUFFER_ATOMIC_BIT` specifies that atomic operations are supported on `VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_TEXEL_BUFFER` with this format.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_VERTEX_BUFFER_BIT` specifies that the format can be used as a vertex attribute format (`VkVertexInputAttributeDescription`::`format`).

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_ACCELERATION_STRUCTURE_VERTEX_BUFFER_BIT_KHR` specifies that the format can be used as the vertex format when creating an acceleration structure (`VkAccelerationStructureGeometryTrianglesDataKHR`::`vertexFormat`). This format can also be used as the vertex format in host memory when doing host acceleration structure builds.

| Note `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_STORAGE_IMAGE_ATOMIC_BIT` and `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_STORAGE_TEXEL_BUFFER_ATOMIC_BIT` are only intended to be advertised for single-component formats, since SPIR-V atomic operations require a scalar type.

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    typedef VkFlags VkFormatFeatureFlags;

`VkFormatFeatureFlags` is a bitmask type for setting a mask of zero or more VkFormatFeatureFlagBits.

    // 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

- `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 for `format` are returned.

`vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties2` behaves similarly to vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties, with the ability to return extended information in a `pNext` chain of output structures.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties2-physicalDevice-parameter

  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_FORMAT_PROPERTIES_2`

- VUID-VkFormatProperties2-pNext-pNext
  Each `pNext` member of any structure (including this one) in the `pNext` chain must be either `NULL` or a pointer to a valid instance of VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesList2EXT, VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesListEXT, VkFormatProperties3, or VkSubpassResolvePerformanceQueryEXT

- VUID-VkFormatProperties2-sType-unique
  The `sType` value of each struct in the `pNext` chain must be unique

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 the type of this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `drmFormatModifierCount` is an inout parameter related to the number of modifiers compatible with the `format`, as described below.

- `pDrmFormatModifierProperties` is either `NULL` 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.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesListEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DRM_FORMAT_MODIFIER_PROPERTIES_LIST_EXT`

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 with `format` and `drmFormatModifier`. 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 with `format` and `drmFormatModifier`.

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_KHR_format_feature_flags2 with VK_EXT_image_drm_format_modifier
    typedef struct VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesList2EXT {
        VkStructureType                       sType;
        void*                                 pNext;
        uint32_t                              drmFormatModifierCount;
        VkDrmFormatModifierProperties2EXT*    pDrmFormatModifierProperties;
    } VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesList2EXT;

- `sType` is the type of this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `drmFormatModifierCount` is an inout parameter related to the number of modifiers compatible with the `format`, as described below.

- `pDrmFormatModifierProperties` is either `NULL` 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`.

The VkDrmFormatModifierProperties2EXT 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_KHR_format_feature_flags2 with VK_EXT_image_drm_format_modifier
    typedef struct VkDrmFormatModifierProperties2EXT {
        uint64_t                 drmFormatModifier;
        uint32_t                 drmFormatModifierPlaneCount;
        VkFormatFeatureFlags2    drmFormatModifierTilingFeatures;
    } VkDrmFormatModifierProperties2EXT;

- `drmFormatModifier` is a Linux DRM format modifier.

- `drmFormatModifierPlaneCount` is the number of memory planes in any image created with `format` and `drmFormatModifier`. An image’s memory planecount is distinct from its format planecount, as explained below.

- `drmFormatModifierTilingFeatures` is a bitmask of VkFormatFeatureFlagBits2 that are supported by any image created with `format` and `drmFormatModifier`.

To query supported format extended features which are properties of the physical device, add VkFormatProperties3 structure to the `pNext` chain of VkFormatProperties2.

The VkFormatProperties3 structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_3
    typedef struct VkFormatProperties3 {
        VkStructureType          sType;
        void*                    pNext;
        VkFormatFeatureFlags2    linearTilingFeatures;
        VkFormatFeatureFlags2    optimalTilingFeatures;
        VkFormatFeatureFlags2    bufferFeatures;
    } VkFormatProperties3;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_KHR_format_feature_flags2
    typedef VkFormatProperties3 VkFormatProperties3KHR;

- `linearTilingFeatures` is a bitmask of VkFormatFeatureFlagBits2 specifying features supported by images created with a `tiling` parameter of `VK_IMAGE_TILING_LINEAR`.

- `optimalTilingFeatures` is a bitmask of VkFormatFeatureFlagBits2 specifying features supported by images created with a `tiling` parameter of `VK_IMAGE_TILING_OPTIMAL`.

- `bufferFeatures` is a bitmask of VkFormatFeatureFlagBits2 specifying features supported by buffers.

The bits reported in `linearTilingFeatures`, `optimalTilingFeatures` and `bufferFeatures` must include the bits reported in the corresponding fields of `VkFormatProperties2`::`formatProperties`.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkFormatProperties3-sType-sType

The following bits may be set in `linearTilingFeatures` and `optimalTilingFeatures`, specifying that the features are supported by images or image views or sampler Y′CBCR conversion objects created with the queried vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties2::`format`:

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT` specifies that an image view can be sampled from.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_STORAGE_IMAGE_BIT` specifies that an image view can be used as a storage image.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_STORAGE_IMAGE_ATOMIC_BIT` specifies that an image view can be used as storage image that supports atomic operations.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_BIT` specifies that an image view can be used as a framebuffer depth/stencil attachment and as an input attachment.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_BLIT_SRC_BIT` specifies that an image can be used as the `srcImage` for vkCmdBlitImage2 and vkCmdBlitImage.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_BLIT_DST_BIT` specifies that an image can be used as the `dstImage` for vkCmdBlitImage2 and vkCmdBlitImage.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_SAMPLED_IMAGE_FILTER_LINEAR_BIT` specifies that if `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT` is also set, an image view can be used with a sampler that has either of `magFilter` or `minFilter` set to `VK_FILTER_LINEAR`, or `mipmapMode` set to `VK_SAMPLER_MIPMAP_MODE_LINEAR`. If `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_BLIT_SRC_BIT` is also set, an image can be used as the `srcImage` for vkCmdBlitImage2 and `vkCmdBlitImage` with a `filter` of `VK_FILTER_LINEAR`. This bit must only be exposed for formats that also support the `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT` or `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_BLIT_SRC_BIT`.

  If the format being queried is a depth/stencil format, this bit only specifies that the depth aspect (not the stencil aspect) of an image of this format supports linear filtering. Where depth comparison is supported it may be linear filtered whether this bit is present or not, but where this bit is not present the filtered value may be computed in an implementation-dependent manner which differs from the normal rules of linear filtering. The resulting value must be in the range [0,1] and should be proportional to, or a weighted average of, the number of comparison passes or failures.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_SAMPLED_IMAGE_FILTER_CUBIC_BIT` specifies that `VkImage` can be used with a sampler that has either of `magFilter` or `minFilter` set to `VK_FILTER_CUBIC_EXT`, or be the source image for a blit with `filter` set to `VK_FILTER_CUBIC_EXT`. This bit must only be exposed for formats that also support the `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT`. If the format being queried is a depth/stencil format, this only specifies that the depth aspect is cubic filterable.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_MIDPOINT_CHROMA_SAMPLES_BIT` specifies that an application can define a sampler Y′CBCR conversion using this format as a source, and that an image of this format can be used with a VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo `xChromaOffset` and/or `yChromaOffset` of `VK_CHROMA_LOCATION_MIDPOINT`. Otherwise both `xChromaOffset` and `yChromaOffset` must be `VK_CHROMA_LOCATION_COSITED_EVEN`. If a format does not incorporate chroma downsampling (it is not a “422” or “420” format) but the implementation supports sampler Y′CBCR conversion for this format, the implementation must set `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_MIDPOINT_CHROMA_SAMPLES_BIT`.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_COSITED_CHROMA_SAMPLES_BIT` specifies that an application can define a sampler Y′CBCR conversion using this format as a source, and that an image of this format can be used with a VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo `xChromaOffset` and/or `yChromaOffset` of `VK_CHROMA_LOCATION_COSITED_EVEN`. Otherwise both `xChromaOffset` and `yChromaOffset` must be `VK_CHROMA_LOCATION_MIDPOINT`. If neither `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_COSITED_CHROMA_SAMPLES_BIT` nor `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_MIDPOINT_CHROMA_SAMPLES_BIT` is set, the application must not define a sampler Y′CBCR conversion using this format as a source.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_SAMPLED_IMAGE_YCBCR_CONVERSION_LINEAR_FILTER_BIT` specifies that an application can define a sampler Y′CBCR conversion using this format as a source with `chromaFilter` set to `VK_FILTER_LINEAR`.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_SAMPLED_IMAGE_YCBCR_CONVERSION_CHROMA_RECONSTRUCTION_EXPLICIT_BIT` specifies that reconstruction is explicit, as described in Chroma Reconstruction. If this bit is not present, reconstruction is implicit by default.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_SAMPLED_IMAGE_YCBCR_CONVERSION_CHROMA_RECONSTRUCTION_EXPLICIT_FORCEABLE_BIT` specifies that reconstruction can be forcibly made explicit by setting VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo::`forceExplicitReconstruction` to `VK_TRUE`. If the format being queried supports `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_SAMPLED_IMAGE_YCBCR_CONVERSION_CHROMA_RECONSTRUCTION_EXPLICIT_BIT` it must also support `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_SAMPLED_IMAGE_YCBCR_CONVERSION_CHROMA_RECONSTRUCTION_EXPLICIT_FORCEABLE_BIT`.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_DISJOINT_BIT` specifies that a multi-planar image can have the `VK_IMAGE_CREATE_DISJOINT_BIT` set during image creation. An implementation must not set `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_DISJOINT_BIT` for single-plane formats.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_FRAGMENT_DENSITY_MAP_BIT_EXT` specifies that an image view can be used as a fragment density map attachment.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_ATTACHMENT_BIT_KHR` specifies that an image view can be used as a fragment shading rate attachment. An implementation must not set this feature for formats with a numeric format other than `UINT`, or set it as a buffer feature.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_VIDEO_DECODE_OUTPUT_BIT_KHR` specifies that an image view with this format can be used as a decode output picture in video decode operations.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_VIDEO_DECODE_DPB_BIT_KHR` specifies that an image view with this format can be used as an output reconstructed picture or an input reference picture in video decode operations.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_VIDEO_ENCODE_DPB_BIT_KHR` specifies that an image view with this format can be used as an output reconstructed picture or an input reference picture in video encode operations.

  | Note Specific video profiles may have additional restrictions on the format and other image creation parameters corresponding to image views used by video coding operations that can be enumerated using the vkGetPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatPropertiesKHR command.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_STORAGE_READ_WITHOUT_FORMAT_BIT` specifies that image views or buffer views created with this format can be used as storage images or storage texel buffers respectively for read operations without specifying a format.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_STORAGE_WRITE_WITHOUT_FORMAT_BIT` specifies that image views or buffer views created with this format can be used as storage images or storage texel buffers respectively for write operations without specifying a format.

The following bits may be set in `bufferFeatures`, specifying that the features are supported by buffers or buffer views created with the queried vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties2::`format`:

- `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 a `VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER` descriptor.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_STORAGE_TEXEL_BUFFER_BIT` specifies that the format can be used to create a buffer view that can be bound to a `VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_TEXEL_BUFFER` descriptor.

- `VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_2_STORAGE_TEXEL_BUFFER_ATOMIC_BIT` specifies that atomic operations are supported on `VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_TEXEL_BUFFER` with this format.

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_KHR_format_feature_flags2
    typedef VkFormatFeatureFlags2 VkFormatFeatureFlags2KHR;

`VkFormatFeatureFlags2` 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 the type of this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` 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.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkSubpassResolvePerformanceQueryEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_SUBPASS_RESOLVE_PERFORMANCE_QUERY_EXT`

#### 47.2.1. 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`, or `VK_IMAGE_TILING_LINEAR` if VkFormat is not `VK_FORMAT_UNDEFINED`

- VkAndroidHardwareBufferFormatPropertiesANDROID::`formatFeatures` and VkAndroidHardwareBufferFormatProperties2ANDROID::`formatFeatures` of a valid external format if VkFormat is `VK_FORMAT_UNDEFINED`

### 47.3. 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.

| Note 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`.

Format features marked † must be supported for `optimalTilingFeatures` with VkImageType `VK_IMAGE_TYPE_2D` if the `VkPhysicalDevice` supports the VkPhysicalDeviceSamplerYcbcrConversionFeatures feature.
Formats marked ‡ do not require a sampler Y′CBCR conversion for `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_COLOR_BIT` image views if the VkPhysicalDeviceRGBA10X6FormatsFeaturesEXT::`formatRgba10x6WithoutYCbCrSampler` feature is enabled.

Implementations are not required to support the `VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SPARSE_BINDING_BIT`, `VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SPARSE_RESIDENCY_BIT`, or `VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SPARSE_ALIASED_BIT` VkImageCreateFlags for the above formats that require sampler Y′CBCR conversion. To determine whether the implementation supports sparse image creation flags with these formats use vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties or vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties2.

`VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_FRAGMENT_DENSITY_MAP_BIT_EXT` must be supported for the following formats if the `fragmentDensityMap` feature is enabled:

- `VK_FORMAT_R8G8_UNORM`

| Note This list of formats is the union of required storage formats from Required Format Support section and formats listed in `shaderStorageImageExtendedFormats`.

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.

#### 47.3.2. 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`.

#### 47.3.3. 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.
