- Description
- The HPI file format, standing for Hemera Photo Image, is associated with images created or used by Hemera Photo-Objects software. This software was popular for offering high-quality, royalty-free images spanning various subjects, ideal for use in presentations, documents, and web design. HPI files specifically contain bitmap images that have been optimized for easy integration without the need for advanced graphic editing skills. Despite its previous popularity, the Hemera Photo-Objects software and its proprietary HPI format have seen a decline in use, superseded by more modern image formats and libraries.
- 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.
