- 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 Despite its specialized use, the Iris Graphics format is less common today, having been superseded by more versatile image formats.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 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.
