File Formats: Interchange File Format (IFF)

IFF (Amiga Interchange) is a general-purpose data storage format (raster), developed by Electronic Arts, Inc. and Commodore-Amiga, Inc. that can associate and store multiple types of data. It is used by the ACD FotoCanvas Lite 2.0 and XnView applications.

IFF reads and writes RLE and non-compressed images. IFF CAT supports multipage files.

The default extension for this format is: IFF.

The file constants associated with this file format are:

Required DLL: Leadtools.Codecs.Iff.Dll. For a listing of the exact DLLs needed, based on the toolkit version, refer to Files To Be Included With Your Application .

NOTE: This format does not support LEAD's redirected IO feature, therefore it cannot be used with the overloads of Load that take an inputstream parameter or FeedLoad.

Platforms: .NET 2/3, .NET 4
