- 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 PNG file is an image file stored in the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. It contains a bitmap of indexed colors and uses lossless compression, similar to a .GIF file but without copyright limitations. PNG files are commonly used to store graphics for web images.
