- 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.
- 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.
