- Description
- The dat file type is a proprietary format used by Barudan embroidery machines. It is a vector-based format used to store embroidery designs, including stitch patterns, color sequences, and other design elements. The file can be converted to other formats, such as DST, EXP, JEF, and PES, for use in other embroidery software programs and machines.
- 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.
