- Description
- A Magick Vector Graphics (MVG) file is a specialized image file format used by ImageMagick, a free and open-source software suite for displaying, converting, and editing raster and vector image files. The MVG format is designed to store vector graphics instructions in a plain text format, which describe how to create or modify images using a series of drawing commands. These commands can include instructions for drawing shapes, setting colors, applying transformations, and other graphical operations.
- 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.
