- Description
- The GunPaint file, with the extension .gun, is associated with the GunPaint image editing software, primarily used for pixel art and digital painting. This file type contains the project data, including layers, color palettes, and tool settings, enabling artists to save and revisit their work-in-progress. GunPaint is favored for its simplicity and effectiveness in creating detailed pixel art, making .gun files popular among game developers and digital artists focusing on retro and indie game graphics. The format supports various features tailored for pixel art creation, including pixel-perfect drawing, custom brushes, and animation frames.
- 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.
