- 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 PNG file is an image file stored in the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. It contains a bitmap of indexed colors and uses lossless compression, similar to a .GIF file but without copyright limitations. PNG files are commonly used to store graphics for web images.
