- Description
- The .geo file extension is associated with GeoPaint, a bitmap graphics editor originally developed for the Commodore 64 GEOS (Graphic Environment Operating System) in the mid-1980s. GeoPaint files contain bitmap images created or edited within the program, supporting a resolution of 320x200 pixels on the Commodore 64. These files enable users to create detailed graphics and illustrations with the limited color palette available on the Commodore 64. Despite its vintage nature, the .geo format remains a nostalgic reminder of early personal computing and digital art creation.
- A BMP file is an uncompressed raster image comprised of a rectangular grid of pixels. It contains a file header (bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, color options, and bitmap data starting point) and bitmap pixels, each with a different color.
