What is a PGF File Type?

The PGF is designed to improve the JPEG standard by reducing compression time and increasing compression ratios. This means that the image can be viewed at a low quality before all its data are fully downloaded, and then increased as new data is received. The format also includes the representation of several resolutions, which means that it does not need to store separate previews, such as vignettes.NOTE: PGF was developed at the same time as JPEG 2000 and initially published in 2000. This format was developed at the Institut d&apos, Theoretical Informatics of the University ETH in Zurich.
