- 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 GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
