- Description
- The g3n file type is associated with Imaging Fax, a format predominantly used for storing fax document images. It is based on the Group 3 fax standard, which is a specification for sending black and white images via telephone lines. G3n files are designed for efficient transmission and storage, utilizing compression techniques to minimize file size while maintaining legibility. This format is particularly useful in business and telecommunication environments where fax documents are still prevalent.
- A BMP file is an uncompressed raster image comprised of a rectangular grid of pixels. It contains a file header (bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, color options, and bitmap data starting point) and bitmap pixels, each with a different color.
