- 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.
- Image file saved in the OpenRaster format, and open raster graphics format that supports multiple layers; supports multiple layers and contains both image data and metadata, including XMP and EXIF tags.
