- Description
- The Mac Paint file type, identified by the extension ".mpnt," originates from MacPaint, one of the first painting applications developed for the Apple Macintosh computer in the mid-1980s. It stores black-and-white bitmap graphics created with MacPaint, which was known for its user-friendly interface and pioneering use of the graphical user interface. Despite its age and the discontinuation of MacPaint, the mpnt file type represents a piece of digital art and computing history. However, modern software support for this format is limited, primarily due to its association with older, 1-bit graphical designs.
- A JPG file is an image saved in a compressed image format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It is commonly used for storing digital photos and used by most digital cameras to save images. JPG files are among the most common image files along with .PNG, .TIF, and .GIF.
