- Description
- A WMZ file is a Windows Metafile (.WMF) compressed with GZIP. Microsoft Office and Visio save vector graphics this way to reduce their size. Windows Media Player skins also use the .wmz extension, but those are ZIP archives and are a different format.
- Image saved in the native graphics format used by Silicon Graphics workstations; can store 8 to 32 bits per pixel; also supports Run-length encoding (RLE) compression for reducing the image file size.
