FAQ
WAL to FLIF Conversion
What are WAL files?
The WAL image format is associated with Quake II, a popular first-person shooter video game launched in the late 1990s. WAL files store texture data and might be part of other similar games by Quake II's developer, id Software. The WAL extension is considered rare and it's probably impossible to open outside the game programs it was created for.
What are FLIF files?
FLIF (Free Lossless Image Format) is a royalty-free format launched at the end of 2015 as "work in progress" with the aim of offering a better alternative for storing lossless images than the existing PNG, WebP, BPG, JPEG2000 and JPEG XR. FLIF provides similar image quality as the other extensions, but in a file size than can be up to 74% smaller. The new format uses a form of the Adam7 algorithm for compressing images, offering progressive interlacing that allows users to obtain a reasonable encoding of an image even from a partial download.
