Convert VIFF to MNG

The Khoros Visualization Image File Format (VIFF), developed by AccuSoft Corporation, is a bitmap image format used primarily within the Khoros software environment for scientific and engineering applications. It supports various image types, including grayscale, color, and multi-spectral images, making it useful for visualizing complex datasets. Despite its powerful capabilities, VIFF is now considered somewhat obsolete due to the emergence of newer, more versatile image formats. However, it remains an important part of the history of image processing and visualization technologies.

The MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) file extension is a specialized format for animated images, originating from the creators of the PNG format. Developed in 1999, MNG supports features like image sequences, transparency, and JPEG data embedding, making it useful for complex animations and graphics interchange. Primarily utilized in web applications and multimedia presentations, it offers efficient compression and high-quality visual representation, catering to the needs of graphics-intensive environments.
