What is PICT file format?

The PICT file format is a graphic file format used primarily on Apple Macintosh systems, designed to store both bitmap and vector graphics. It was widely used for images in the early days of Mac OS, enabling the interchange of graphics between different applications. Although its popularity has declined with the advent of more modern formats like PNG and JPEG, PICT files can still be found in legacy systems and applications. The format supports a range of color depths and is capable of storing multiple images in a single file.
