- 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 WEBP file is an image saved in the WebP (pronounced "Weppy") raster image format developed by Google for web graphics. It is designed to reduce image file sizes over standard JPEG compression while maintaining the same or similar quality. WEBP files allow images to be downloaded more quickly.
