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.
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.
