Personalized Image Capture Technology (.pct)

The PCT (Personalized Image Capture Technology) file extension, developed by Apple in 1984, is a graphics file format used primarily for exchanging images between Macintosh applications. It supports both vector and bitmap graphics and was the native format for the QuickDraw graphics library. Over time, PCT has been largely replaced by PDF, but it remains supported by some applications for legacy purposes.

AOLpress Raster Technology (.art)

The ART file extension, associated with PFS: 1st Publisher, stands for "AOLpress Raster Technology". Developed by America Online (AOL), this format was designed to optimize image download speeds over slow internet connections by employing high compression ratios. ART files store single, highly compressed images, allowing for incremental rendering similar to progressive JPEGs. While it was useful in the past, the ART format has largely been replaced by more modern image formats.
