- Description
- The MacPaint file format, abbreviated as MACP, is a bitmap graphics format that was native to the MacPaint application. Developed by Apple Inc., MacPaint was one of the first widely used graphics editors, released in 1984 for the original Macintosh. The MACP format is characterized by its ability to store black-and-white images at a resolution of 72 DPI, reflecting the capabilities of early Macintosh displays. Despite its historical significance, the format and the application have become obsolete, with MacPaint being discontinued and the MACP format largely unsupported by modern graphics software.
- A JPEG file is an image saved in a compressed graphic format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It supports up to 24-bit color and is compressed using lossy compression, which may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. JPEG files are commonly used for storing digital photos and web graphics.
