FAQ
KRO to FLIF Conversion
What are KRO files?
KRO (Kolor Raw) is a simple, uncompressed image format created for the Kolor software, best known for its Autopano panorama stitching programs. Panoramas can be gigantic, and many common formats cannot hold pictures larger than about 30,000 pixels on a side, so the authors designed a format without such a limit. It stores color pictures with 8 or 16 bits per channel, or with floating-point numbers for high dynamic range images, with or without transparency. Because the pixels are saved without any compression, files are large, and the format is intended for temporary work between stages of processing rather than for sharing finished pictures. The panorama publishing tools of krpano can also read and write it.
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.
