- Description
- The TG4 file type is associated with Tiled Group 4, a format used primarily for storing black and white (monochrome) images. It utilizes the Group 4 compression method, which is a form of TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) compression that is particularly efficient for scanning and storing documents, blueprints, and detailed line art in a compact file size without loss of quality. TG4 files are suitable for archiving or transmitting detailed images where retaining exact detail is crucial. They are commonly used in industries that require high-quality document imaging and archival, such as legal, engineering, and medical fields.
- Image file saved by the Krita painting program. A Krita file is a zip archive holding the full layer stack: each layer's pixel data as compressed tiles, its name, position, opacity, blending mode and visibility, plus a merged preview of the whole image.
