- 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its previous popularity, the Hemera Photo-Objects software and its proprietary HPI format have seen a decline in use, superseded by more modern image formats and libraries.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 GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
