- 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 OTB (Nokia Over The Air Bitmap Image) file format is a type of image file developed for use on Nokia mobile devices. These files are specifically optimized for efficient transmission and display on Nokia phones, particularly older models. The OTB format is designed to be compact to facilitate over-the-air (OTA) transmission, which was an essential feature in the era of limited bandwidth and data transfer capabilities. The format supports monochrome graphics, making it suitable for simple images like icons and logos.
