- 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 WEBP file is an image saved in the WebP (pronounced "Weppy") raster image format developed by Google for web graphics. It is designed to reduce image file sizes over standard JPEG compression while maintaining the same or similar quality. WEBP files allow images to be downloaded more quickly.
