.PIC Estensione file

Deep Raster image created by Houdini, a 3D modeling and animation application; stores a run-length encoded image, including the colors, color map, and size of the picture; supports any number of planes per pixel; stores images that can be included with 3D scenes.

The PIC format is proprietary and is the native format used for internal Deep Raster images saved with Houdini.

A PIC file is an image file saved in the PICtor raster image format. It is the native file format used by Pictor Paint (PC Paint) and Graphics Animation System for Professionals (GRASP), which were both developed by John Bridges for the MS-DOS operating system.

PICtor PIC files are uncommon since the programs that support them are no longer developed. They were often used in the 1980s and 1990s to save and share images but are now rare. If you do encounter a PIC file, it most likely is an old image created by an MS-DOS paintbrush program. The image may also be a frame of a video sequence.

The PICtor format is similar to the Paintbrush Bitmap Image .PCX format. It includes a header that contains information about the display device, which allows it to be viewed on different systems. After the header, the format stores image data that may be uncompressed or compressed with Run-length encoding (RLE)compression.

You can open a PIC file with PMView Pro in Windows. You can also convert the PIC file to a more common format with FFmpeg and view it with an image viewer.

A PIC file is an image saved in the QuickDraw Picture format, used by old Macintosh computers. It is a vector image that may contain an embedded raster image. PIC files are the same as .PICT and .PCT files.

You can open a PIC file with:

• XnViewMP
• Apple Preview (macOS)
• Adobe Photoshop (Windows, macOS)
• Netpbm
• IrfanView (Windows)

You can use XnViewMP, Apple Preview, Adobe Photoshop, or IrfanView to convert PIC files to other image formats. For example, XnViewMP can convert PIC files to the following formats (and many others):

• .JPEG - JPEG Image
• .GIF - Graphical Interchange Format
• .PNG - Portable Network Graphic
• .TIFF - Tagged Image
• .BMP - Bitmap Image
• .WEBP - WebP Image
