What is a ECW file?
ECW is a highly compressed image format designed for large geospatial raster datasets. It’s used in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) for aerial and satellite imagery.
ECW balances image quality and compression ratio, allowing huge images to be used efficiently.
How to open ECW files
ECW files can be opened with GIS tools like ERDAS IMAGINE, Global Mapper, and QGIS (with plugins). They are not supported by most regular image viewers.
