What is a BS file?
BS is an image file format used for storing bitmap images. The format was developed in 1986 by German developer for Commodore 64 system. An interesting fact about BS files is that first bit of each BS file is always 0x42, which translates to the letter "B".
Raster image file that use .BS extension support only 320x200 pixel resolution. BG (support up to 640x400 pixels) and PG (support for 8x8 to 640x800 pixels) are file formats similar in structure to BS format. It is still possible to view this type of files with XnView image viewer.

How to open BS files
If you cannot open the BS file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports BS among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the BS file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the BS format files
The inability to open and operate the BS file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Printfox/Pagefox Image Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a BS file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the BS file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the BS from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the BS format
- The BS file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the BS file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a BS file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the BS file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the BS file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the BS file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.
How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.BS) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected BS file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the BS file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. BS) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
