- Description
- It is an icon image file used to show application icons in the macOS Finder and macOS dock. It contains one or several .PNG images and it supports 1bit and 8-bit alpha channels.
- The PI3 file type is associated with Degas & Degas Elite, which are image editing and drawing applications specifically designed for the Atari ST series of computers. These files contain images created or edited within the Degas or Degas Elite programs, capturing graphics in a format that supports the unique capabilities and limitations of the Atari ST's display. The PI3 format is particularly tailored for high-resolution monochrome images, reflecting the hardware's graphical output options at the time. While now considered a legacy format, PI3 files represent an important part of digital art history, especially within the context of early personal computing.
