SFW to FLIF Conversion: FAQ
What are SFW files?
The SFW format is associated with Seattle Film Works, a company which used to specialize in processing photographic films by mail order. SFW files most likely contain digital versions of images processed by this company. Seattle Film Works gained a lot of popularity in the United States during the 1990s, but was closed in early 2000s. In case you found an SFW file, it probably represents an image that dates from that time, and might be difficult to open using regular image viewers.
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.
