- Description
- The CPC file type is associated with the Amstrad CPC (Color Personal Computer) series, which were popular 8-bit home computers in the 1980s. Specifically, a CPC file contains screen data, representing the graphical display or image output as seen on an Amstrad CPC machine. This file format is used to store and reproduce graphical content, such as game graphics, user interface elements, or any other visual data, suitable for the Amstrad CPC's display capabilities. Enthusiasts and developers working with Amstrad CPC emulators or creating retro content may encounter or utilize CPC files to manipulate or display graphics within the Amstrad CPC ecosystem.
- 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.
