.PIT File Extension

Firmware file used by some Android-based Samsung mobile phones, including Samsung Galaxy series phones; is part of the firmware that is flashed onto the device from the manufacturer; sometimes used by homebrew users, but not meant to be manually edited.

PIT files contain the partition information table (PIT) for the phone. Different firmware versions may use different partition layouts, but the specific configuration on each phone is handled by the manufacturer.

One of the original Macintosh file compression formats; now obsolete and has been replaced by more advanced compression algorithms, such as Zip (.ZIP) and Stuffit (.SIT) compression.
