Quoting a fragment from the final section:
"[...] any prefix (e.g. partial download) of a compressed file can be used as a reasonable lossy encoding of the entire image."
though they also have it listed explicitly in the TODO section:
"- Lossy compression"
- jaredcheeda 11y agoCurrent plan is to keep lossless and lossy versions of the format in the same bitstream for encoders/decoders and to differentiate the output files encoded to be lossy as ".flyf" (Free LossY image Format), and those that are encoded as lossless as ".flif" (Free Lossless Image Format). However renaming the files from flif to flyf or vice versa would have no effect, they would still be opened and decoded the same. It's merely meant to convey to humans the intention of the person who created the image. From my understanding, not much focus has been given to lossy endcoding as of yet.
