Convert CUT to PNG

Understanding CUT and PNG file formats

CUT is a raster graphics file format developed by Dr. Halo for DOS-based systems. It was commonly used in the late 1980s and early 1990s for storing bitmap images, especially in early graphics applications. CUT files are now considered obsolete and are rarely supported by modern software.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a widely used raster image format known for its lossless compression and support for transparency. PNG is a standard format for web graphics and digital images due to its high quality and broad compatibility.
