- 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 JPEG file is an image saved in a compressed graphic format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It supports up to 24-bit color and is compressed using lossy compression, which may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. JPEG files are commonly used for storing digital photos and web graphics.
