- Description
- The PI5 file type is associated with Degas & Degas Elite, which are image editing and drawing programs developed for the Atari ST series of computers in the 1980s. These files contain bitmap graphics created or modified within the Degas software, supporting various resolutions and color palettes specific to the Atari ST platform. The PI5 format specifically corresponds to images with a medium resolution of 640x200 pixels in 4 colors. Due to the niche and historical nature of the software, opening or converting PI5 files may require specialized or legacy software solutions.
- 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.
