- 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.
- WebP Image (WEP) is an image file format developed by Google in 2010. It is based on the VP8 video format and is used to create smaller, higher quality, and lossy compressed images. It is supported by most major web browsers and is commonly used for web graphics.
