STiNG

The STiNG file format was developed by Iterated Systems to provide resolution-on-demand images. Image resolution can be specified at the time of output. A still image format which combines fractal encoding with wavelet compression. Purchased by OnOne Software in 2005.

File Information
The STN file format is based on patented STiNG technology and has the extension “.stn”. The STN format provides lossless encoding at about 2:1 (and up to 10:1) file size reduction or visually lossless encoding at typical 5:1 (and up to 30:1) or more file size reduction. The STN format also gives you the ability to crop and scale an image for multiple purposes.
