INFO: Codecs For DotImage (Supported Image Types)

Tananda
DotImage

This is a list of image Codecs supported by DotImage (it is current for v 11.5)

Note that not all Image formats are supported for both reading (Decoder) and writing (Encoder). If a format has a Decoder we can read the file. If a format has an Encoder we can create the file.

Also note that some codecs are optional add-on products which may require additional licensing. (Example - PdfEncoder is included with DotImage DocumentImaging but PdfDecoder is an optional Add-on)

Also Also note: we do not support video / animation, so any formats listed here that may include video are still image only and likely the frames would be seen as separate frameindexes as multi-framed still images

Atalasoft does not use file extensions to differentiate between different image/file types - we actually use our RegisteredDecoders.Decoders collection to check headers within files. This means if you had a TIFF that was mislabeled as a PNG, we'd still detect it was a TIFF and use TiffDecoder on it.
