- 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.
- A Magick Vector Graphics (MVG) file is a specialized image file format used by ImageMagick, a free and open-source software suite for displaying, converting, and editing raster and vector image files. The MVG format is designed to store vector graphics instructions in a plain text format, which describe how to create or modify images using a series of drawing commands. These commands can include instructions for drawing shapes, setting colors, applying transformations, and other graphical operations.
