- Description
- The PHC (Home Embroidery Format) is a proprietary file format used for storing embroidery designs. It is used by many different types of home embroidery machines, including Brother and Janome. The format stores information about the design, such as stitch type, thread color and the coordinates of the stitches. It can also contain text and images.
- 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.
