- Description
- The Iris Graphics file type, commonly associated with the extension .iris, originates from Silicon Graphics for use on their workstations. It is designed for storing high-quality images, particularly in the field of computer graphics and 3D rendering. This file format is tailored to support complex visual data, accommodating a range of color depths and resolutions suitable for professional graphics work. Despite its specialized use, the Iris Graphics format is less common today, having been superseded by more versatile image formats.
- A JPG file is an image saved in a compressed image format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It is commonly used for storing digital photos and used by most digital cameras to save images. JPG files are among the most common image files along with .PNG, .TIF, and .GIF.
