RIFF to FLIF Conversion: FAQ
What are RIFF files?
The Resource Interchange File Format RIFF is a structured multimedia container format developed through a collaboration between Microsoft and IBM in 1991. As an adaptation of the Electronic Arts Interchange File Format (IFF), RIFF implements a tagged chunk architecture where each data segment contains a 4-character identifier, 32-bit size field, and payload data. This design enables hierarchical organization of heterogeneous multimedia streams while maintaining platform-independent data representation through strict little-endian byte ordering.
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.
