This article was previously published under Q156245



Microsoft picture extension, .mix is the default Picture It! file format for version 1.0 of Picture It!, but you can open graphics in 19 other file formats and save to nine of those formats.

If you need to save your work in another format, be aware of the following:


 * You may not be able to save your work in the same file format that you opened the file from.
 * More than one form of a specific file format may exist and Picture It! may not support all forms of each format listed below.

* When you save to .gif format in Picture It! you cannot specify the size of the saved image. That feature is sometimes used when preparing GIFs for use on the Internet.

** Picture It! does not display or print postscript. When you open an .eps file in Picture It! you are working with the device independent bitmap (.dib) only.
