To convert other file formats to the "Commodore 64 Bitmap" file type, you need software like KoalaPainter or a similar tool.
The .KOA file format primarily functions as a legacy bitmap image associated with KoalaPainter, a highly popular 1980s graphics editor for Commodore 64 and Amiga computer systems. In a separate and completely unrelated use case, .KOA serves as a proprietary data file for the Kommunale Ordnungs-Anwendung, a specialized software utilized by German municipal authorities for public order management.
Modern users face severe limitations with both variations of the .KOA format. The retro Commodore 64 graphics variant uses an obsolete 8-bit architecture that cannot be displayed by web browsers, smartphones, or standard image editing software like Adobe Photoshop. To view the artwork natively, users are forced to install specialized retro emulators. The municipal data variant is even more restrictive, locking public order data behind a closed-ecosystem government software application, rendering the raw file useless to the average user.
To overcome these hurdles, file conversion is the most practical solution. For retro graphics, convert your .KOA file to PNG for pixel-perfect, lossless web archiving, or JPG for quick email sharing. If you are handling municipal data, extracting it to CSV or PDF is necessary for auditing or viewing without a government software license. Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software on convert.guru.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our KOA converter.
