- Description
- The dot file extension is associated with Microsoft Word, a popular word processing software developed by Microsoft. Specifically, a dot file is a Word Document Template, which serves as a blueprint for creating multiple documents with a similar format, layout, and structure. These templates can include predefined styles, formatting, text, and even images that can be used to create new documents with a consistent look and feel, saving time and ensuring uniformity across documents for personal, educational, or business purposes.
- A PCT file is an image saved in the Macintosh PICT format, which was developed by Apple in 1984 for storing images using Apple QuickDraw technology. It contains image data in one of two formats, PICT 1, the original format that stores 8 colors, or PICT 2, a newer format that allows thousands of colors (24 and 32-bit images). PCT files support both raster and vector images.
