- Description
- The JIG file format is associated with Jigsaw, a type of puzzle game where players assemble puzzles to form a complete picture. JIG files contain the data necessary to render the puzzle pieces and their correct positions for the game. This includes the image used for the puzzle, the shape and number of pieces, and possibly hints or solutions. It is primarily used by digital jigsaw puzzle software to load different puzzles for users to solve.
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
