- Description
- The RLE (Run Length Encoded Bitmap) file type is a bitmap image format that employs run-length encoding, a simple compression technique to minimize file size without losing image quality. This method works by compressing sequences of identical pixels (runs) into a single value and count, rather than storing each pixel individually. RLE is particularly effective for images with large areas of uniform color, such as icons, line drawings, and simple graphics. It can significantly reduce file sizes, making it beneficial for storage.
- Kodak raster image format used for transferring film images to a digital medium with no loss of quality; also referred to as a "Digital Moving Picture Exchange Bitmap;" often exported as a frame sequence which contains a series of still images.
