What Is the File Extension Gpd?

Created by RGB, PhotoDefiner is a program that is used to compress images or make the file size smaller so it takes less memory to store the image. A number of files are associated with the use of PhotoDefiner; one is gpd.

Identification

A file with the gpd file extension is known as a Graphic PhotoDefiner image file.

Function

Gpd files contain a digital image, photograph or graphic that has been compressed using PhotoDefiner.

Benefits

Gpd files use lossless compression, meaning files are made smaller without altering the clarity or quality of the image. Because of this, a gpd file is identical to the image it was derived from but often smaller than other types of compression, such as a jpg file.

Uses

Because of their clarity and size, gpd images are commonly used by radiologists to email X-rays or other diagnostic images for consulting or collaborative purposes.

Programs

On a Mac operating system, Kandalu PhotoK and the Apple QuickTime Player with a downloaded PhotoDefiner component are the most common programs for accessing gpd files. On a Windows operating system, the most common programs include RGB Light PhotoDefiner Free Viewer, Kandalu PhotoK Win and the Apple QuickTime Player with the downloaded PhotoDefiner component.
