PICT is a graphics file format developed for Macintosh computers, primarily used to store bitmap images, vector graphics, and combinations of both. It was widely used in early Mac applications for importing, exporting, and printing images.
PICT files can contain high-quality image data with precise resolution, making them suitable for desktop publishing, illustration, and graphic design on Mac systems. While largely replaced by modern formats like PNG or JPEG, PICT remains important in archival contexts and for compatibility with older Mac software and workflows.
