FAQ
PRF to AVIF Conversion
What are PRF files?
PRF is an image format of PHOTOMOD, a photogrammetric software system of the Russian company Racurs that is used to process aerial and satellite photographs and to produce maps and elevation models. The format is also known as MegaTIFF. It was created for very large images, which can exceed 4 GB and cannot be saved in an ordinary image file. The picture is cut into smaller parts that are stored in separate files, and a small overview picture is added so that the whole image can be shown quickly at a small scale. A short .prf file ties all of the parts together and describes the image. A related variant for elevation data uses the .x-dem extension.
What are AVIF files?
AVIF is a new image format launched at the end of 2020. AV1 Image File Format was developed by the Alliance for Open Media in collaboration with Netflix, Google and Cisco. This format was created to be an open-sourced and royalty-free image format with a super-compression efficiency. Multiple graphics compression tests show that the .avif format outperforms the JPEG, PNG and WebP image formats for its image quality to compressed file size ratio.
