Convert PIC to JPEG

Understanding PIC and JPEG file formats

The PIC file format is a raster image format that was commonly used in the early days of computer graphics. It was primarily associated with software like Pictor Paint and is not widely used today. On the other hand, the JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format is a highly popular image format known for its lossy compression, which significantly reduces file size while maintaining acceptable image quality. JPEG is widely used for digital photography and web graphics.

How to convert PIC to JPEG

Converting a PIC file to a JPEG format involves using specialized software or online converters that can read the PIC format and save it as a JPEG. This process is essential for making old PIC files more accessible and usable in modern applications.
