- 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.
- Unicode Braille (uBrl) is a file format that stores information in the form of a braille code, which is a tactile writing system used by people who are blind or have low vision. The file format is used to store text in a way that can be read by a braille device or software.
