- 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 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.
