- Description
- The IPT file format is associated with InterPaint (Multicolor), a vintage graphics editing program used on early personal computers. It was specifically designed for creating and editing pixel art and digital images with a focus on multicolor patterns, prevalent in the 1980s and early 1990s computing era. IPT files contain the image data crafted in the InterPaint software, encapsulating the color palette and pixel information unique to the program's capabilities. This format is primarily of interest to digital art historians, retro computing enthusiasts, and those engaged in the preservation of vintage digital artwork.
- 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.
