- Description
- The Mac Paint file, commonly associated with the file extension ".mac", originated from MacPaint, an early graphics editing program developed by Apple Inc. for the original Macintosh computer in 1984. This file type was designed to store black and white bitmap graphics, allowing users to create and manipulate digital images using a variety of tools and brushes. Mac Paint files were known for their simplicity and were widely used for basic graphic editing and illustration tasks during the early days of personal computing. Despite its historical significance, the Mac Paint format has largely been superseded by more advanced graphic file formats that support color and higher resolutions.
- WebP Image (WEP) is an image file format developed by Google in 2010. It is based on the VP8 video format and is used to create smaller, higher quality, and lossy compressed images. It is supported by most major web browsers and is commonly used for web graphics.
