What is a .Basis file?
BASIS is a Basis Universal compressed texture for games and the web.
- Did you know
- Basis Universal textures can be transcoded to whatever format a GPU prefers.
- Basis Universal comes from Binomial LLC and offers two modes, the highly compressed ETC1S and the higher-quality UASTC.
- Its compression was adopted by the Khronos Group as part of the open KTX2 texture container standard.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify and read more game and emulator files: Unity asset bundles, Unreal cooked assets, CISO/CHD disc images, FMOD/Wwise sound banks, Spine skeletons and atlases, GameMaker/LDtk/TIC-80 projects, Minecraft Anvil regions, Warcraft III maps, Ren Py and RPG Maker data, extra console ROMs (Atari, PC Engine, Master System/Game Gear, WonderSwan, 3DS homebrew), xdelta/Basis patches and emulator saves and movies.
- Depth of analysis
- .Basis is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .Basis file
- Drag a .Basis file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
