- 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.
- Based on HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding), the HEIF format is an image file container with one or multiple images and is the default image format for Apple Live Photos. It replaced the JPEG format as it's smaller in size and has lossless compression ensuring high-quality photos.
