FAQ
CT1 to FLIF Conversion
What are CT1 files?
CT1 is a raster image file extension used for CALS Type 1 files, defined by the U.S. Department of Defense Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistic Support (CALS) initiative in the MIL-R-28002 specification, and later incorporated into MIL-STD-1840 for the exchange of technical documentation. A file of this type contains a single black-and-white page, stored as a bilevel image compressed with the CCITT Group 4 (ITU-T T.6) method, which made it well suited to scanned engineering drawings, manuals, and archival paper documents. The page is preceded by a fixed-length text header that identifies the source document, the figure, the document class, the pixel dimensions, the page orientation, and the scanning density. The format supports no color or grayscale, and remains in use in legacy technical document archives.
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.
