- Description
- The pec file type is a proprietary embroidery format used by Brother, Babylock, and Bernina home embroidery machines. It is used to store machine-readable designs for the machines to stitch out. The files can be edited with a variety of embroidery software programs.
- 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.
