- Description
- The NEO file format, associated with Neochrome (ST & TT), is a bitmap image file type originally designed for use on Atari ST and Atari TT series computers. It is known for storing pixel-based images in a specific color palette that was popular among early computer graphics and digital art in the 1980s and early 1990s. The format supports a limited number of colors, typical of the graphical capabilities of the hardware of that era. NEO files were commonly used by artists and game developers for creating and sharing digital images, sprites, and backgrounds in a low-resolution format.
- 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.
