Convert K25 to JIF

The K25 file extension stands for Kodak DC25 Digital Camera Raw Image. It is a proprietary format used by the Kodak DC25 digital camera, introduced in the mid-1990s. K25 files store unprocessed image data directly from the camera's sensor, preserving high image quality and allowing extensive post-processing. This format was pivotal in early digital photography, enabling users to manipulate images without significant quality loss.

The JIF (Joint Photographic Experts Group Interchange Format) is a standard for compressing and encoding digital images. Initially introduced in 1992 by the Joint Photographic Experts Group, JIF became widely adopted due to its efficient lossy compression method, which significantly reduces file size without a substantial loss in image quality. Primarily used for web graphics and digital photography, JIF has influenced the development of other formats like JPEG and its various subtypes, ensuring high compatibility across different platforms and devices.
