- 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 WMZ file is a Windows Metafile (.WMF) compressed with GZIP. Microsoft Office and Visio save vector graphics this way to reduce their size. Windows Media Player skins also use the .wmz extension, but those are ZIP archives and are a different format.
