- 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.
- Video format used by various Chinese MP4 portable video players; contains a 512-byte file header and a series of images that are displayed during MP3 playback; similar to a .AMV file, but uses slightly different formatting.
