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.
An RGBA file is a color bitmap image format created by Silicon Graphics (SGI). It is similar to the .RGB file as it supports color RGB channels with an alpha channel.
