- 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.
- Encapsulated PostScript Interchange TIFF Preview (EPT) is a file format for storing raster graphics. It is a combination of a TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) preview image and an EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) vector image, and is typically used for exchanging vector graphics between applications.
