SID to PCT Conversion: FAQ
What are SID files?
MrSID (Multiresolution Seamless Image Database) is a compressed raster format for high-resolution geospatial imagery. Developed by LizardTech, it uses wavelet compression to efficiently store aerial/satellite images, maps, and large documents while supporting fast zooming and geospatial data.
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.
