SPL to FLIF Conversion: FAQ
What are SPL files?
The .SPL file is a Gerber-format file used in PCB manufacturing. It follows the RS-274X standard and contains vector-based instructions for photoplotters, defining copper traces, solder masks, and silkscreen layers. Generated by PCB design software, SPL files ensure accurate translation of circuit layouts into physical boards during fabrication.
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.
