SOL to FLIF Conversion: FAQ
What are SOL files?
SOL is an extension attached to a 2-D representation of the bottom copper layer from a printed circuit board (PCB). SOL is part of the Gerber family of extensions, which represents the de facto standard in the PCB industry. Other similar formats include CMP, STS, STC — to name just a few. Gerber files contain descriptions of various board details, such as electrical connections, copper layers, solder masks, silkscreen data etc.
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.
