- Description
- The MIFF (Magick Image File Format) is a versatile image format used primarily by ImageMagick, a software suite for creating, editing, converting, and displaying bitmap images. It is designed to store bitmap images with a high degree of flexibility, supporting various depths and color spaces, including transparency and multiple layers. MIFF files are often used for temporary storage during image processing tasks, as they can efficiently preserve the full quality and attributes of images.
- This format is used to compress TIFF images when sending them via fax machines. This format helps reduce the data transmission time. Group 3 eliminates redundant data during compression in order to reduce file size. The standard 10:1 compression ratio may be increased to the user's preferences, but it can lead to a significant loss of image quality.
