- Description
- The BLK file type is associated with the Amiga computer system, specifically within the context of the Interchange File Format (IFF), which was widely used on Amiga systems for various types of multimedia data. BLK files typically contain block data, which could be used for storing graphics, animation frames, or map tiles for video games and other graphical applications. The IFF format is a container format, meaning that it can hold various types of data structures, with BLK files being specifically tailored for graphical block data. These files were integral to the development and distribution of content for the Amiga platform, especially during its peak in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
