- Native format of the Krita painting program, developed by the Krita Foundation.
- 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.
- Image file saved by the Krita painting program. A Krita file is a zip archive holding the full layer stack: each layer's pixel data as compressed tiles, its name, position, opacity, blending mode and visibility, plus a merged preview of the whole image.
