- Description
- The SXW file format is associated with StarOffice Writer, a word processing application that was part of the StarOffice suite developed by Sun Microsystems. The SXW file type was primarily used to save text documents that could include formatted text, images, tables, and other document elements. StarOffice served as a precursor to the more widely known OpenOffice.org suite, which later evolved into Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice, among others.
- 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.
