- Description
- ILBM (Interleaved Bitmap) is a file format designed primarily for storing bitmap images. It was developed by Electronic Arts as part of the Electronic Arts Interchange File Format (EA IFF 85) and became widely known for its use in Deluxe Paint, a popular graphics editing program on the Commodore Amiga computer in the 1980s and 1990s. ILBM files support features such as multiple bit planes, which allow for efficient representation of images with various depths, making them suitable for computer graphics of that era. Additionally, the format can include color palettes and optional compression, making it versatile for storing detailed images with limited color ranges.
- Based on HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding), the HEIF format is an image file container with one or multiple images and is the default image format for Apple Live Photos. It replaced the JPEG format as it's smaller in size and has lossless compression ensuring high-quality photos.
