- Description
- The Common File Format (CFF) is a standardized file structure designed to facilitate the sharing, exchange, and preservation of data across various platforms and applications. It is not tied to a specific domain but is rather a generic format that can be adopted by different types of software and systems for a wide range of data types. The CFF aims to provide a common framework that ensures data interoperability and accessibility, making it easier for users to work with data across different tools without the need for extensive conversions.
- This format is used to compress TIFF images when sending them via fax machines. This format helps reduce the data transmission time. Group 3 eliminates redundant data during compression in order to reduce file size. The standard 10:1 compression ratio may be increased to the user's preferences, but it can lead to a significant loss of image quality.
