IRIS to RIFF Conversion: FAQ
What are IRIS files?
IRIS is an obsolete file format associated with workstations built by Silicon Graphics in the 1980s. Other similar formats, also known as RGB image formats, are SGI, RGB or RGBA. Unlike these extensions, IRIS is currently considered rare and might be difficult to open. For best results, we recommend converting it to a more accessible format.
What are RIFF files?
The Resource Interchange File Format RIFF is a structured multimedia container format developed through a collaboration between Microsoft and IBM in 1991. As an adaptation of the Electronic Arts Interchange File Format (IFF), RIFF implements a tagged chunk architecture where each data segment contains a 4-character identifier, 32-bit size field, and payload data. This design enables hierarchical organization of heterogeneous multimedia streams while maintaining platform-independent data representation through strict little-endian byte ordering.
