The Enhanced Compressed Wavelet file format is a raster file format created by the ER Mapper Company.
The ECW format uses wavelet compression, which results in small, high quality image files that can be loaded and saved quickly. This format is supported by ER Viewer and Adobe Photoshop. LEADTOOLS uses the ECW SDK to compress and decompress ECW images. This SDK has the following two restrictions:

An image must be at least 128 X 128 to be compressed.
LEADTOOLS supports V2.0 of this file format.
