- Description
- The IFF (Interchange File Format) is a file format originally developed by Electronic Arts and Commodore-Amiga in the 1980s. It was designed to facilitate the sharing and storage of multimedia data, such as images, audio, and video, between different software applications and systems. The format is chunk-based, allowing it to encapsulate various types of data within a single file by organizing them into self-contained blocks. While it was most prominently used on Amiga computers, the IFF format has influenced the development of subsequent file formats, including the widely used AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) for audio files.
- A JPEG file is an image saved in a compressed graphic format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It supports up to 24-bit color and is compressed using lossy compression, which may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. JPEG files are commonly used for storing digital photos and web graphics.
