What Is the File Extension Pi2?
Because file extensions are selected during software development based upon the personal preferences of programmers and engineers, it is possible for two unrelated types of files to share a common file extension. An example of this is the .pi2 file extension, which is used by two different types of graphic files.
-
Identification
-
A file with the .pi2 file extension is either a Degas medium resolution image file or a Portrait Innovations photo.
Sources
-
A Degas medium resolution image file is associated with Degas, a software program that allows you to edit images used in Atari video games. A Portrait Innovations photo comes on a CD-ROM given at a Portrait Innovation studio, a chain of family photography centers across the United States.
-
Function
-
A Degas medium resolution image file is a graphic that you have edited or created with Degas, while a Portrait Innovations photo is one of the photographs taken at your portrait session at Portrait Innovations.
Features
-
Degas medium resolution image files can contain only four colors and be as large as 640 pixels in width and 200 pixels in height. A Portrait Innovations photograph is a high resolution photograph that accompanies a lower-quality .jpg file with the same image.
Considerations
-
Degas medium resolution image files can also be viewed with XnView for both Mac OS and Windows. A Portrait Innovations photo is saved in a special type of secured encoding that will not allow the photograph to be copied or shared.
