- Description
- The JIG file format is associated with Jigsaw, a type of puzzle game where players assemble puzzles to form a complete picture. JIG files contain the data necessary to render the puzzle pieces and their correct positions for the game. This includes the image used for the puzzle, the shape and number of pieces, and possibly hints or solutions. It is primarily used by digital jigsaw puzzle software to load different puzzles for users to solve.
- A BMP file is an uncompressed raster image comprised of a rectangular grid of pixels. It contains a file header (bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, color options, and bitmap data starting point) and bitmap pixels, each with a different color.
