.FLIF File

The flif file extension is associated with the Free Lossless Image Format a lossless compression format for picture images and digital photos.

The FLIF uses MANIAC (Meta-Adaptive Near-zero Integer Arithmetic Coding), an algorithm for entropy coding developed by Jon Sneyers and Pieter Wuille.

FLIF features:

• Lossless compression
• Greyscale, RGB, RGBA
• Color depth: up to 16 bits per channel (high dynamic range)
• Interlaced (default) or non-interlaced
• Interlaced files can be decoded quickly at lower quality/resolution (“Responsive By Design”)
• Progressive decoding of partially downloaded files
• Animation support
• Encoding and decoding speeds are not blazingly fast, but they are in the right ballpark

Free Lossless Image Format is still not available in final version.
