What is a DINO file?
A DINO file is a drawing created by Dinopixel, an online pixel art maker. It contains information about the drawing, such as the canvas dimensions, pencil strokes, and colors, in the Dinopixel (DINO) format.

A DINO file may also be a project created by DinosaurMod, a web-based block programming environment based on Scratch, TurboWarp, and PenguinMod. It stores a programming project, including sprites, scripts, costumes, sounds, variables, and project settings used to create interactive games, animations, simulations, and other multimedia applications. DINO files save all of a project's assets, which typically include .JSON and .SVG files in a single, Zip-compressed file, allowing users to continue editing their work or share it with others.
More Information
DinosaurMod uses DINO files as its primary project format. Students, educators, hobbyists, and programmers create these files when developing projects with DinosaurMod's visual, block-based programming interface. The format is designed to preserve the complete state of a project, making it easy to move projects between computers, archive them, or collaborate with other DinosaurMod users.
Since DINO files are projects, they are intended for editing rather than for execution on their own. Users typically create them while developing a project and then run or publish the finished work from within DinosaurMod.
