- 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 JFIF (JPEG File Interchange Format) format makes it possible to transfer compressed JPEG files across computers. This graphical file format uses a marker to show various parameters not seen in the standard JPEG file — for instance, pixel size, pixel geometry, among others.
