IGS to FLIF Conversion
What are IGS files?
The IGS (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) file format is a standardized CAD data exchange format used to transfer 2D and 3D model data between different CAD systems. Developed in the 1980s, IGES ensures compatibility across various engineering and design software by storing geometric data, annotations, and structure in a neutral ASCII or binary format.
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.
