- 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.
- Image file saved by the Krita painting program. A Krita file is a zip archive holding the full layer stack: each layer's pixel data as compressed tiles, its name, position, opacity, blending mode and visibility, plus a merged preview of the whole image.
