- 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 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.
