- 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 GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
