CCITT Group 4 Fax Image (.g4)
The G4 file extension is linked to the CCITT Group 4 Fax Image format, recognized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for its ability to compress monochrome images without data loss. This format is integral to fax technology, employing a two-dimensional coding system that identifies image patterns, resulting in high compression ratios and minimized file sizes, key for efficient document transmission.
