- Description
- The EPA file type is associated with the Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) used in many computers. It specifically refers to the format for BIOS logo images that are displayed during the computer's boot-up sequence. These logo images, often customized by PC manufacturers or users to display a brand or personal image, are stored as .epa files. The EPA format is designed to be compatible with the Award BIOS environment, allowing for a personalized touch to the boot-up process.
- 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.
