JNG to PCT Conversion: FAQ
What are JNG files?
JNG (JPEG Network Graphics) is an offshoot of the PNG/MNG family that packages a JPEG-compressed RGB image together with a lossless PNG-style alpha channel, giving you full transparency at smaller file sizes than an equivalent PNG. It uses the same chunked structure as PNG, making it easy to embed metadata or animation cues when paired with MNG. Despite its clever hybrid design, mainstream browsers and tools never embraced JNG, so it remains a niche format overshadowed by PNG, WebP, and AVIF.
What are PCT files?
PCT is an image file format associated with Macintosh QuickDraw, a graphics program developed in the 1980s as part of the Apple Macintosh operating system. The initial version of the format, called PICT 1, could store 8 colors, while the later developed PICT 2 supported 24 and 32-bit color images. In recent years, the format has decreased in popularity, being gradually replaced by more versatile formats.
