The PICT file extension, developed by Apple in 1984, stands for Personalized Image Capture Technology. It was originally used by the QuickDraw graphics library on Macintosh computers to interchange both vector and bitmap graphics. PICT files have since been deprecated in favor of formats like PDF, but they were crucial for graphics exchange in early Mac applications.
Animated Portable Network Graphics (APNG) is an extension of the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format designed to support animated images. Introduced in 2004, APNG allows for animated sequences while retaining backward compatibility with non-animated PNG files. This format is utilized for its lossless compression, making it ideal for web graphics where image quality is paramount. APNG files are widely used for animated icons, logos, and other elements that benefit from high-quality animations without the artifacts common in GIF files. Its concise, efficient structure makes it a preferred choice among developers and designers focused on optimizing web performance.
