FAQ
E00 to FLIF Conversion
What are E00 files?
E00 is the interchange format of Arc/Info, the professional GIS of Esri that was widely used from the 1980s. A map layer in Arc/Info consists of several files and tables in a special directory structure, which could not be copied easily from one computer system to another. The export command packs the whole layer into a single text file, which keeps every number as plain characters and so can be moved between machines of any type. A file of this type can hold a coverage of lines, points, and polygons with their attribute tables, and also a grid or a TIN surface. Many GIS programs can still import such files, and a large amount of older public map data, from geological surveys to national mapping agencies, is distributed this way.
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.
