- Description
- Developed by AutoCAD, a DWG is a 2D OR 3D database file that is used to store vector image data and metadata that describes the file content. The .DXF files are the ASCII versions of the .DWG files.
- 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.
