- Description
- The WFX file type is primarily associated with WinFAX, a software application designed for sending, receiving, and managing faxes directly from a computer. Developed by Symantec, WinFAX was popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s for its ability to integrate fax communication with Windows operating systems, offering features like fax scheduling, fax broadcasting, and address book management. WFX files typically contain fax templates or fax document information used by the WinFAX program. Although WinFAX has been discontinued, WFX files can still be found within archives or older systems that utilized this software for fax communications.
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
