- 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.
- Image file saved by the Krita painting program. A Krita file is a zip archive holding the full layer stack: each layer's pixel data as compressed tiles, its name, position, opacity, blending mode and visibility, plus a merged preview of the whole image.
