- Description
- The LWI file format, standing for Light Work Image, is associated with software applications designed for digital image editing and manipulation. It is primarily used to store raster graphics, which may include digital photos or artwork processed through these specific programs. LWI files are designed to maintain the quality of the image while supporting various layers, adjustments, and effects applied within the editing software. This format is particularly useful for users who require a dedicated file type to save intermediate stages of their work or to preserve the full editability of their projects.
- 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.
