The PCT (Personalized Image Capture Technology) file extension, developed by Apple in 1984, is a graphics file format used primarily for exchanging images between Macintosh applications. It supports both vector and bitmap graphics and was the native format for the QuickDraw graphics library. Over time, PCT has been largely replaced by PDF, but it remains supported by some applications for legacy purposes.
The J2K file extension stands for JPEG 2000 Code Stream Syntax, a part of the JPEG 2000 standard developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). Introduced in 2000, JPEG 2000 offers superior image compression and quality compared to the original JPEG format. The J2K codestream is highly flexible, supporting both lossy and lossless compression, and allows for scalable decoding, which means images can be efficiently accessed at various resolutions and quality levels. This makes J2K ideal for applications requiring high-quality image storage and transmission, such as medical imaging, digital cinema, and satellite imagery.
