DIB file format
| Extension | .dib |
| Category | images |
| Description | The DIB (Device Independent Bitmap) format is a bitmap image file format used by Microsoft Windows. It is similar to the BMP (Bitmap) file format, but supports additional features such as alpha channels and transparency. |
| Technical details | DIB files contain pixel data in a specific format, with each pixel represented by a certain number of bits. The file header contains information about the image such as its width, height, color depth, and compression method (if any). DIB files can be uncompressed or compressed using various methods such as RLE (Run-Length Encoding) compression. They can also contain a color palette or use true-color (24-bit or 32-bit) representation. DIB files are widely used for storing images in Windows-based applications and can be opened and edited using various image editing software. |
