Find your old .pict and .pct files from your old Macintosh® computer disks - and rescue them - convert them to standard JPEG format without loss of resolution, clarity or color. And if they had transparency, also save a copy as a standard PNG.

pictRescue hunts down all the PICTs from wherever you tell it to start, and converts them, creates or fixes the EXIF meta data, corrects time stamps and file systems date/times, AND provides an enhanced, unique, professional name.

pictRescue’s algorithm examines each PICT and compares it to all others, and skips the duplicates, allowing you to potentially eliminate tons of wasted space.

pictRescue enhances the original name to include professional meta data to clearly and uniquely let you identify every single image - making it easier to sort and sift through all your images. (The original name of the image shows in the onscreen display, the converted image is saved with the new professional name.)

The new name will be in the format:

"original name"_Now-" pixels wide" x" pixels high-pixels_Was-" pixels wide" x" pixels high"-pixels-"original-filesize""-bytes_Taken-YYYYMMDD-hhmmss-" Camera Manufacturer"-" Camera Model"-" original image type" .jpg

for example:

CoyoteMoon_Now-716x1024-pixels_Was-1690x2415-pixels-12225268-bytes_Taken-20020304-162514-unknown-maker-unknown-camera-PCT.jpg

pictRescue DOES NOT change or delete any original image, data, file or names - it places the newly created JPEG in the Archive at the location you specify, and CANNOT and WILL NOT write over your existing PICTs.

Capabilities:

▪ Rescue PICTs from as many source folders and disks as you like.

▪ Copy images from your Archive(s) to other locations.

▪ Intelligently export images from your Archive(s) to Apple Photos.

▪ Send images directly from your Archive(s) via Apple Mail and Apple Messages.

▪ Print images as full resolution prints, or in unique, 35-mm style contact sheets.

▪ Display and/or Delete internal metadata (if there is any) for individual images.

▪ Open a copy of individual rescued PICTs in your default image editor or Apple Preview.

Terms of Use and Privacy Policy are at: https://www.woulasoftware.com/privacy-policy-and-terms-of-use-for-pictrescue.html

Please note:

▪ By design, all sources/archives must be internal or locally attached disks; cloud-based or network disks cannot be used as sources or archives.

▪ In Read-only mode you can copy images to external folders.

▪ pictRescue makes every attempt to identify duplicate images. In some cases, a PICT and/or the rescued image may visually appear to be a duplicate of another, but it might be a different resolution, or has been modified in some way, or has been saved in a different format. At this time, pictRescue does not differentiate these cases.

▪ Throughput and performance for pictRescue are directly tied to the speed of your computer's CPU and graphics card, the amount and speed of memory, and the speed and type of the storage media for the Archive(s) and all of the sources. Depending on these factors, rescuing could take a long time.
