- Description
- The Free Lossless Image Format File (FLIF) is a digital image file format designed to provide high-quality lossless compression for images. Unlike lossy formats like JPEG, FLIF preserves all the original image data without any degradation, ensuring that images are compressed without sacrificing any detail or clarity. This makes FLIF an ideal choice for applications where image quality is paramount, such as digital archives, professional photography, and graphic design. FLIF also incorporates advanced features such as support for high dynamic range (HDR).
- An ICO file is an image format used to store icons for Windows programs, files, and folders. It contains two bitmaps: 1) the AND bitmap - the image mask (which determines what part of the icon is transparent) and 2) the XOR bitmap - contains the icon which is mapped onto the image mask. ICO files can be modified to create custom icons.
