- Description
- The CUT file format is associated with Dr. Halo, a bitmap image file. It is primarily used to store raster graphics images created or processed within the Dr. Halo suite of graphic editing programs. CUT files contain bitmap images, which are composed of a grid of pixels or dots to represent images pixel by pixel. This format was more commonly used in earlier versions of Windows and DOS applications related to graphic design and image processing. Despite its limited use today, some graphic editors and converters still support the CUT file.
- Based on HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding), the HEIF format is an image file container with one or multiple images and is the default image format for Apple Live Photos. It replaced the JPEG format as it's smaller in size and has lossless compression ensuring high-quality photos.
