| Description | PICT is a metaformat used for exchanging graphic data between Mac-based applications. PICT uses QuickDraw encoding and it stores both bitmap and vector graphic data. There are two types of PICT files: the obsolete PICT 1 supporting 8 colors and backed by the black-and-white QuickDraw, v. 1; and PICT 2 backed by QuickDraw 2 also known as Color QuickDraw. The format has been around since 1984 and now it has been largely replaced by PDF and has fallen out of use due to large size. |

| Description | Designed by CompuServe even before JPG GIF file format displays indexed-color graphics. It is a simple illustration with maximum 256 colors. That is why it is great for the web, logos and icons also are saved in GIF format. There is one more reason for that: GIF preserves transparence. You can put an icon or a logo above another image, and the borders of the first one won’t be seen. Above all GIF supports animation, which is a widely spread technique among the designers. |
