- Description
- Stl is the standard 3D data transmission file format mainly used for 3D printing. STL contains surface geometry descriptions of 3D objects and it uses a series of triangles to describe the surface geometry of a 3D model.
- Based on HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding), the HEIF format is an image file container with one or multiple images and is the default image format for Apple Live Photos. It replaced the JPEG format as it's smaller in size and has lossless compression ensuring high-quality photos.
