- 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 WEBP file is an image saved in the WebP (pronounced "Weppy") raster image format developed by Google for web graphics. It is designed to reduce image file sizes over standard JPEG compression while maintaining the same or similar quality. WEBP files allow images to be downloaded more quickly.
