HIR to FLIF Conversion: FAQ
What are HIR files?
HIR is an old image format associated with Commodore 64 computers, providing what was seen at the time as "high resolution". The Commodore 64 was one of the first types of computers widely available for home users and had an unprecedented popularity in the 1980s. At the moment, however, such files are considered rare and obsolete, so for easier handling you should probably convert them to a more accessible format.
What are FLIF files?
FLIF (Free Lossless Image Format) is a royalty-free format launched at the end of 2015 as "work in progress" with the aim of offering a better alternative for storing lossless images than the existing PNG, WebP, BPG, JPEG2000 and JPEG XR. FLIF provides similar image quality as the other extensions, but in a file size than can be up to 74% smaller. The new format uses a form of the Adam7 algorithm for compressing images, offering progressive interlacing that allows users to obtain a reasonable encoding of an image even from a partial download.
