- 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 JPG file is an image saved in a compressed image format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It is commonly used for storing digital photos and used by most digital cameras to save images. JPG files are among the most common image files along with .PNG, .TIF, and .GIF.
