- The PGC (Portfolio Graphics Compressed) file type is associated with a specific image format primarily designed for storing graphics in a compressed form. It is aimed at minimizing file size while maintaining image quality, making it suitable for digital portfolios or collections where space efficiency is crucial. The PGC format supports various levels of compression, allowing users to balance between image quality and file size according to their needs. This format is particularly useful for professionals or hobbyists looking to showcase their work digitally in a compact and efficient manner.
- 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.
