Utah Run-Length Encoded Bitmap (.rle)

The RLE (Run-Length Encoded) file extension, associated with the Utah Raster Toolkit, is a lossless image compression format used primarily for 4 or 8-bit bitmap images. Developed at the University of Utah, it employs run-length encoding to compress data by reducing consecutive repeated values, making it efficient for simple graphics like icons and line drawings. Historically, it was widely used in early versions of Windows and CompuServe software.
