- Description
- Ptiff is a type of image file that is created by compressing a TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) image using a wavelet-based encoding, known as pyramidal encoding. This type of file can store both lossy and lossless compressed images and is often used for storing large-scale images such as aerial photographs or medical images.
- 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.
