- Description
- The BFX file type is associated with Bitware, a fax document format used primarily by Bitware Fax software. Bitware was a popular fax and communications software package that allowed users to send, receive, and manage fax documents directly from their computers. BFX files contain the digital representation of faxed documents, enabling them to be stored, viewed, or printed using compatible software. Although the software has become less common with the decline of fax usage in favor of digital communication methods, BFX files represent a specific era of computer-based fax management.
- A PNG file is an image file stored in the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. It contains a bitmap of indexed colors and uses lossless compression, similar to a .GIF file but without copyright limitations. PNG files are commonly used to store graphics for web images.
