- Description
- The SFW file format is associated with Seattle FilmWorks, a photography and film processing company. It was primarily used for images that were developed and digitized by Seattle FilmWorks. The format was proprietary, meaning it required specific software provided by Seattle FilmWorks or compatible third-party applications to view or convert the images. SFW files were popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s, especially among consumers who used Seattle FilmWorks' mail-order film developing service.
- Created by JBIG (Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group), JBG is a lossless file format that contains both colored and monochrome images. Commonly used to compress fax images, and it has better compression than G3 and G4 compression codecs.
