PLO to PCT Conversion: FAQ
What are PLO files?
The .plo file format is a variant of the HPGL (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) format, commonly used for plotter files. Like standard .hpgl files, .plo files contain a series of vector instructions—written in ASCII—that control pen movements on plotting devices. These files are typically generated by CAD software and used in engineering, architecture, and manufacturing to produce precise line drawings. The .plo extension is often used to distinguish plot-ready files prepared specifically for output on plotters, while still following the HPGL command structure.
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.
