PCT to AVIF Conversion: FAQ
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.
What are AVIF files?
AVIF is a new image format launched at the end of 2020. AV1 Image File Format was developed by the Alliance for Open Media in collaboration with Netflix, Google and Cisco.
