PDN to PCT Conversion: FAQ
What are PDN files?
PDN is the native file format used by Paint.NET, a popular free image and photo editing software for Windows. A PDN file stores the entire project data for an image, including layers, layer properties, transparency, blending modes, text, and editing history. Unlike standard image formats like JPEG or PNG, which flatten an image into a single layer, PDN files preserve all editable elements, making them ideal for ongoing design work or complex image editing tasks.
What are PCT files?
PCT is an image file format associated with Macintosh QuickDraw, a graphics program developed in the 1980s as part of the Apple Macintosh operating system. The initial version of the format, called PICT 1, could store 8 colors, while the later developed PICT 2 supported 24 and 32-bit color images. In recent years, the format has decreased in popularity, being gradually replaced by more versatile formats.
