PICT to GIF Conversion: FAQ
What are PICT files?
PICT is an image format associated with Macintosh QuickDraw, in image processor designed for Apple computers and released in the 1980s. Similar formats include PCT and PIC. As QuickDraw has officially been deprecated by Apple in the early 2000s, the PICT, PCT and PIC formats are now considered obsolete and rare.
What are GIF files?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) files are widely popular due to their ability to store animations and images in a relatively small size. Their compression algorithm implies the use of a limited color range (up to 256 colors), which means GIF files are great for storing static and animated images of a small size — like logos, icons or avatars, especially if you plan to transfer them or upload them online. GIF images, however, are usually not suitable for high-quality image rendering or printing.
