- Description
- This file format is used as a canvas (background) in a variety of image editing software in order to set the main color of the image. It is used to fill the canvas with one solid color. It belongs to the group of 'pseudo-image' file formats. It can be used for the fill color, which is chosen from the selected area in a particular image.
- VIPS is a libvips file format mainly used for calculations, but it can also store images. The main advantage is that it has no size limit; it's fast and straightforward. Nonetheless, most applications can't view it, so converting it to a more popular format is the only way to work around it.
