File extension pict is generally used for pictures. One of the most known PICT formats is a Mac graphic file format used for and for screen display in page-layout applications as an intermediary file format for transferring files between programs.
The PICT format supports RGB files with a single alpha channel, and indexed-color, grayscale, and Bitmap files without alpha channels. It is not used for printed images since the format does not carry the information needed for separations.
