Koala Painter was a graphics editing program for the Commodore 64, an 8-bit home computer. Images saved in its format use the gig file extension.
A gig file contains a 160x200-pixel picture with 16 colors. It is an obsolete format associated with Commodore 64 graphics software.
The format is no longer in common use, but the image can still be viewed with RECOIL on supported platforms.
Use RECOIL to open a gig file. RECOIL is a multiplatform viewer for images from older computers and supports this Koala Painter format.
RECOIL can convert supported gig files to a modern image format such as PNG. Open the image in RECOIL and use its image export or conversion function.
