TAP to FLIF Conversion: FAQ
What are TAP files?
TAP is an image format associated to the Gerber group of extensions, which is recognized as a de facto standard in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry. Gerber images can function as input files for photoplotters that are used in PCB fabrication, containing detailed 2D descriptions of aspects such as copper layers, solder masks, silkscreens etc. TAP images contain drilling data and are created with Orcad software. The format is also known as THRUHOLE.TAP
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.
