I'm on a kick with future predictions, so why not one about image file formats. There always seems to be a new one every week (kidding!). Let's dig into what I think will be the image format of the future - FLIF.

Just another file format?
I'm sure this has been many times over, but I truly think FLIF has the potential to take over all other image file formats. Before we dig into the reasons why, let's call out that FLIF stands for Free Lossless Interchange Format. The format was created by Jon Sneyers and Pieter Wuille as described in their paper.
FLIF has been around since 2015, but since I live under a rock, I've first heard about it now. It is a lossless format, which means that you don't lose data quality as you compress images, opposed to jpegs. PNG images are lossless, which means they won't lose any quality as you compress them.
What makes FLIF great?
Taken from the official www site, FLIF does it all:
- Better compression than WebP, which at the time of this writing is the current-best standard. FLIF is 14% smaller than WebP.
- Image agnostic compression (you no longer need to think jpeg for photographs, gifs for animations, pngs for transparent images, etc.).
- Patent-free (we don't have to worry about nasty patents that ruin innovation and adoption).
- Progressive decoding.*
- Transparent and animated images.
*Progressive decoding is quite handy. If you do not know what progressive decoding is, it is a way of rendering the image. Instead of loading an image from top to bottom in full quality, which can result in the partial image loaded on the page, progressive decoding loads an image in its full size, then renders more image detail on the page. To see this in practice, have a look at the video below.
I would also recommend you visit the official page to view another example how FLIF outperforms our current image formats; in this example - APNG.
nice

ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

I had no idea FLIF existed until now. The benefits of this format are impressive than most popular image formats like WEBP and PNG or JPEG. While learning about new tech, it can get difficult to understand, which is why I always rely on assignment help UK services to keep my studies on track. This way, I can focus on exploring cool stuff like FLIF!
