About Rle Tool
Rle Tool is used to apply Run-Length Encoding (RLE) compression to data, a simple algorithm that replaces repeated consecutive values with a count. It scans the input for consecutive repeated bytes or characters and replaces each run with count-value pairs. RLE works well on data with many repeated values (like simple pixel art or fax data) but can increase size for random or high-entropy data. Rle Tool runs free in your browser at abovetool.com — no signup required.
