- Description
- The PNT file type is primarily associated with MacPaint, an early graphics painting software developed by Apple Inc. for their Macintosh computers. Introduced in the mid-1980s, MacPaint was among the first programs to bring bitmap graphics editing to a personal computer, allowing users to create and edit black-and-white images with a simplistic user interface. PNT files store the bitmap images created in MacPaint, encapsulating the simplistic yet iconic graphics that were a hallmark of early Macintosh applications. Despite its discontinuation, the PNT format remains a piece of digital art history from the dawn of personal computing.
- Windows vector graphics format recognized by many image-editing applications; basically a 32-bit version of the original Windows Metafile Format (.WMF), which only supports 16-bit data; saves image data in an RGB format and does not support CMYK data.
