BSAVE Image (or BSAVED Image, BSAVE graphics, BSV, etc.) is a loosely-defined family of raster and character-based graphics file formats, based on the behavior of the BSAVE command in QuickBASIC and certain other implementations of the BASIC programming language.

The file consists of a header, followed by a raw dump of video memory (or something approximating that). The Wikipedia article seems to be the best source of information about it.

Identification

BSAVE Image files begin with the byte 0xFD.
