- Native format of the Krita painting program, developed by the Krita Foundation.
- Description
- The rl8 file type is associated with Windows Bitmap, a raster graphics image file format used primarily for storing digital images and graphics. Specifically, rl8 denotes a variant of the Bitmap format that uses 8 bits per pixel, allowing for 256 colors. It is commonly used in applications that require simple graphics with a limited color palette, such as icons, logos, and simple images. The .rl8 file extension indicates the file's adherence to this specific color depth within the broader Bitmap format family.
- Image file saved by the Krita painting program. A Krita file is a zip archive holding the full layer stack: each layer's pixel data as compressed tiles, its name, position, opacity, blending mode and visibility, plus a merged preview of the whole image.
