What is PCT file?

The .PCT file extension is associated with a type of bitmap image. It is a type of vector graphics and metafile format developed by Apple Computer, Inc., in the early 1980s. With the introduction of MacDraw, the company bundled its proprietary PCT format files with the program. It was used to store both vector shapes and bitmap images within a single file. PCT files featured multiple levels for combining and editing vector shapes and bitmapped objects. [ ⏩ ] PCT file extension

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. 8BPS to PCT. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting 8BPS files to PCT files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension PCT, while before this step we had the 8BPS file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new PCT file, or not.
