- 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.
- The FB2 (FictionBook 2.0 File) format is an open XML-based ebook format specifically designed for fictional literature, although it can also accommodate non-fiction. Unlike other ebook formats, FB2 focuses on the structure and content of the book, rather than its appearance. This means that the layout, font, and styling are determined by the e-reader device or software, offering a more uniform reading experience across different platforms.
