- Description
- The RL4 file type is associated with the Windows operating system, particularly designed for bitmap images. It specifically refers to a bitmap file format used in Windows environments for storing graphical images in a 4-bit RLE (Run-Length Encoded) format. This compression technique helps in reducing the file size without sacrificing the image quality significantly. RL4 files are typically used for storing simple graphics or icons with a limited color palette, making them efficient for applications where space conservation is important.
- A JPG file is an image saved in a compressed image format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It is commonly used for storing digital photos and used by most digital cameras to save images. JPG files are among the most common image files along with .PNG, .TIF, and .GIF.
