- Description
- The PICT2 file format, also known as Macintosh QuickDraw/PICT, is a graphics file format used primarily on Apple Macintosh computers. It is an upgrade of the original PICT format, designed to support more sophisticated graphics capabilities, including 32-bit color. PICT2 files are used for storing and exchanging graphical images, incorporating both bitmap and vector data. This format was widely used in Macintosh applications for illustrations, layouts, and page design before being succeeded by more modern formats.
- A JPEG file is an image saved in a compressed graphic format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It supports up to 24-bit color and is compressed using lossy compression, which may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. JPEG files are commonly used for storing digital photos and web graphics.
