How to Convert PICT to PS

STEP 1

Click inside the file drop area to upload your PICT file or drag & drop it.

Locate your PICT file on your device—typically used for various purposes. Ensure the file is under 50MB to avoid upload issues. If the upload fails, check your internet connection or try compressing the file first.

STEP 2

Select PS as the output format and click the 'Convert' button.

Choose PS based on your needs—different formats suit different purposes, like JPEG for smaller file sizes. The conversion process typically takes a few seconds, depending on file size and server load.

STEP 3

Download the converted PS file instantly after conversion.

Once the conversion is complete, click the download link to save your PS file. You can then open it in software like a compatible viewer. If the file doesn’t download, ensure your browser allows pop-ups from RunConvert.

STEP 4

You can also send a link to the converted file via email. (Optional)

Enter an email address to receive a secure link to your converted file, which is useful for sharing with clients or accessing later. Links expire after 24 hours for security, and RunConvert ensures your data is protected during transmission.

What is PICT (Macintosh Picture)?

PICT (Macintosh Picture) is a graphics file format developed by Apple Computer for use in the classic Mac OS. It supports both vector and bitmap graphics within the same file.

The format was the native graphics format for QuickDraw, the 2D graphics library and rendering engine used in classic Mac OS before OS X/macOS.

PICT files were widely used in Mac-based desktop publishing, word processing, and graphic design applications throughout the 1980s and 1990s before being superseded by more modern formats.

How to open PICT files?

PICT files can be opened using classic Mac applications or with modern graphics applications that maintain legacy support like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.

For Windows users, applications like IrfanView, XnView, and GraphicConverter (via Wine) can open PICT files with appropriate plugins.

Modern macOS versions have reduced native support for PICT files, so dedicated third-party software is often necessary for accessing these legacy files.

How to convert PICT?

For creative professionals with archives of older Mac-based design work, our batch conversion service can process entire collections of PICT files while preserving transparency and vector data when converting to appropriate formats.

What is PS (PostScript)?

PS (PostScript) is a page description language developed by Adobe that describes the appearance of text, graphics, and images on a printed page. It was revolutionary in desktop publishing and printing industries.

Unlike EPS, which is a single graphic, PS files can contain multiple pages and are primarily used for printing documents rather than for embedding graphics into other documents.

PostScript files contain programming instructions that describe precisely how text and graphics should appear on a page, enabling consistent reproduction across different printers and devices.

How to open PS?

PS files can be viewed and printed using software like Adobe Acrobat Distiller, Ghostscript with GSview, or PostScript viewers.

For macOS users, Preview can open many PostScript files, rendering them for on-screen viewing.

Some professional printing software packages also support direct import and processing of PostScript files.
