- 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.
- ISO/TR 11548-1 Braille is a file type used for storing braille documents in a digital format. It is based on the ISO/TR 11548-1 standard and can be used for storing textual documents in a standardized way. It is used in many countries and is especially helpful for people who are blind or visually impaired.
