- Description
- The BMS file format, standing for Playback Bitmap Sequence, is primarily associated with bitmap sequences used in multimedia applications. It is designed to store a series of images or frames that can be played back in a sequence to create an animation or a video-like effect. These bitmap sequences are often optimized for efficient playback, making them suitable for use in games, interactive media, and software that requires animated graphics with minimal performance overhead. The format allows for the storage of each frame in a compressed bitmap format to save space while maintaining the sequence's integrity and playback quality.
- 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.
