- Description
- The RLC file format, specifically denoted as Image Systems RLC2 Graphic, is a type of image file used primarily for storing bitmap graphics. Developed by Image Systems, this format is designed to store high-quality images in a compressed manner to save space without significantly sacrificing the image's integrity. RLC files are often used in specific industries or with specialized software that recognizes the RLC2 Graphic format. This makes them less common in general graphic design but valuable for targeted applications requiring the format's specific benefits.
- 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.
