- `squashfs` (no arguments specified) gives you a squashfs (`*.simg`) image. This is a compressed, reliable, and read only format that is recommended for production images. Squashfs support was added to Singularity proper in [January of 2017](https://github.com/singularityware/singularity/commit/0cf00d1251ff276d5b9b7a0e4eadb783a45a6b65#diff-8405d9d311d83f009adff55c3deb112c) and thus available as early as the 2.2.1 release.

- `sandbox` (`-f`) builds your image into a sandbox **folder**. This is ideal for development, as it will produce a working image in a folder on your system.
2626
- `ext3` (`-w`) builds an older format (ext3) image (`*.img`). This format is not recommended for production images as we have observed degradation of the images over time, and they tend to be upwards of 1.5x to 2x the size of squashfs.
