- Description
- 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.
- JBIG is a lossless compression file format that was created for the fax machine; it can be used by other image file formats. The files created by JBIG format are smaller compared to G3 and G4 file formats.
