What is an EGA file?

EGA files mostly belong to Deluxe Paint. EGA files hold graphic data. They are most often used as Amiga IFF image files in Deluxe Paint.
These files work by storing pixel data for display with an enhanced Graphics Adapter. They are structured to support the image needs of classic systems.
Key points provided by FilExt.com:

They are typically created using Deluxe Paint on the Amiga platform.

The file format is based on the IFF standard for images.

Some EGA files have also been reported as a Melissa virus variant, so caution is advised if the file source is not trusted.
