- Description
- The OAZ Fax file format, denoted by the extension .oaz, is associated with a now-obsolete faxing software once popular for transmitting documents over telephone lines. These files contain digital representations of faxed documents, including text and images, allowing for electronic storage and retrieval. The technology behind OAZ files was primarily used before the widespread adoption of email and online document sharing, making it a relic of early digital communication methods. Due to its obsolescence, finding software capable of opening or converting OAZ files might be challenging.
- A BMP file is an uncompressed raster image comprised of a rectangular grid of pixels. It contains a file header (bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, color options, and bitmap data starting point) and bitmap pixels, each with a different color.
