- 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.
- 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.
