What is a .SIFZ file?
A .SIFZ file is a type of compressed project file specifically used by Synfig Studio, which is a free software application designed for creating detailed 2D animations. The "SIFZ" format is essentially a standard .SIF file (Synfig Studio Project file) that has been compressed using gzip to reduce its size, making it easier to store and share.
The content of a .SIFZ file includes a digital animation project. This project is made up of a canvas, which serves as the workspace where various elements like shapes, lines drawn with brushes or pencils, text, and various control handles (such as position, radius, tangent, angle, vertex, and width) are placed and manipulated to create animations.
To open a .SIFZ file, you need to use Synfig Studio. Since this file format is specifically designed for Synfig Studio, it is the primary and typically the only program capable of properly handling these files. When you open a .SIFZ file in Synfig Studio, the software decompresses it back into a .SIF file so you can edit and manipulate the animation as needed.
