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.
Originally used on the Sun Microsystems computers, RAS is a raster image format that displays bitmap images. It is popularly used for specific types of research projects and it can be developed in Unix OS as well. It supports 1 and 32-bits per pixel and used RLE compression codec.
