What is a .TUP file?
A .TUP file is a special kind of computer file used for creating 2D animations, which means it's used for making cartoons or animated graphics that only have height and width. This type of file is specifically made by a program called TupiTube. TupiTube is a software that you can use for free, and it works on both computers (like Windows or Mac) and Android smartphones or tablets.
Inside a .TUP file, there's a collection of different frames. Think of frames like individual pictures in a flipbook. When you play them quickly one after another, they create the illusion of movement, which is how you get an animation. To organize and keep all the information it needs, a .TUP file is actually put together in a format called .ZIP. This is a common way to compress files to make them smaller and easier to manage. When you look inside this .ZIP file, you'll find XML files. XML files are a way to store data in a structured, readable format, and in this case, they keep track of all the details about the animation, like what each frame looks like and what assets (like images or sounds) are used.
If you want to open a .TUP file and see or work on the animation, you'll need to use the TupiTube app. Since TupiTube is available for both desktop computers and Android devices, you can work on your animations on different types of devices. Whether you're using a PC at home or a tablet on the go, you can create or edit your TupiTube animation projects with the same app.
