- Description
- The C4 file type, associated with the Edmics format, is primarily used to store raster image data, particularly in the context of engineering and document imaging applications. Edmics C4 files are optimized for efficient storage and retrieval of scanned documents, such as blueprints, maps, and technical drawings, allowing for high compression rates without significant loss of image quality. This format is designed to support the needs of document management systems by enabling easy sharing and archiving of detailed images. The C4 file extension ensures that these images are accessible and manageable across various platforms and devices used in professional environments.
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
