- Description
- 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.
- Mobile phone backup file created by Sony Ericsson PC Suite, a program used to manage Sony Ericsson mobile phones; stores phone information, such as contacts, in a compressed format.
