- It is an image compression codec file with the same quality as .jpeg, but that is ten smaller. It supports HDR (High Dynamic Range). SDR (Standard Dynamic Range), and WCG (Wide Color Gamut) images. Also, it contains both the image sequences and image items. The only pitfall is that a few applications support it.
- It contains CD-quality audio file commonly used in gaming consoles and media players. AIFC can be compared to .WAV file that has been compressed to reduce file size. Therefore, it may incorporate ALAW, ULAW, or G722 compression.
