- The GigaPaint Multi file, bearing the extension .gig, is associated with GigaPaint, an advanced graphics program used on Commodore Amiga computers. This file type specifically contains multi-resolution bitmap images, enabling artists and designers to create and manipulate images with varying levels of detail and color depth. The GigaPaint software suite was notable for its ability to handle detailed graphic work, making it a popular choice for video game developers, graphic artists, and animation creators during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The .gig format embodies the era's push towards more sophisticated digital art capabilities on personal computers.
- A TIFF file is a graphics container that stores raster images. It may contain high-quality graphics that support color depths from 1 to 24-bit and supports both lossy and lossless compression. TIFF files also support multiple layers and pages.
