Files and File Formats
LEADTOOLS currently supports over 150 different image formats and sub formats, and continues to expand support for new formats and new format sub-types in response to the ever changing demands of developers worldwide.
With over 15 years in the field and thousands of customers in all areas of applications development, LEAD Technologies always strives to provide the most complete support for the tremendous variety of image formats available.
Each image format has its own unique set of load/save/display options, which may encompass varying types and/or degrees of compression, a range of image information bit-depths, progressive (multi-pass) image display, the ability to maintain multi-page or multi-channel images, animations, or non-image data, just to name a few.
LEAD constantly adds support for new file formats, and "flavor" support to formats already supported, giving your applications the flexibility to support almost any image you encounter. You can count on LEADTOOLS to have the most thorough and highest performance implementation of image format specifications, and you can depend on LEADTOOLS to offer the most flexibility and control of these options to you, the software developer.
