- Description
- The rl8 file type is associated with Windows Bitmap, a raster graphics image file format used primarily for storing digital images and graphics. Specifically, rl8 denotes a variant of the Bitmap format that uses 8 bits per pixel, allowing for 256 colors. It is commonly used in applications that require simple graphics with a limited color palette, such as icons, logos, and simple images. The .rl8 file extension indicates the file's adherence to this specific color depth within the broader Bitmap format family.
- 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.
