- 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.
- RB is an eBook file format that was developed by NuvoMedia. It was first used in Nuvo Media’s Rocket eBook device. It contains the contents of the book in HTML form.
