- Description
- The KOA file type is primarily associated with Koala Paint, a bitmap graphics editor for the Commodore 64, a popular home computer in the 1980s. KOA files contain images created or edited within the Koala Paint software, leveraging the Commodore 64's specific color palette and resolution limitations. These files capture the nostalgic essence of early computer graphics, characterized by their pixel art style and limited color range. Koala Paint was notable for its use of a light pen or joystick as drawing tools, making it a precursor to modern digital art applications.
- 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.
