Why convert CUT to JPG?
CUT is the bitmap format of Media Cybernetics' Dr. Halo paint program for DOS, used in early PC graphics and clip art collections. The picture is decoded by ImageMagick at its original pixel size, keeping the artwork exactly as it was drawn.
JPG output is saved at quality 90 with any transparent areas placed on white, giving a compact image with smooth detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert CUT to JPG?
Drop your CUT file above and press Convert. Our servers decode the CUT image with ImageMagick's Dr. Halo reader into a lossless PNG, then encode it in the format you chose. The result is saved as a high-quality JPG, ready to download.
What does a CUT file hold that ends up in the JPG?
A single run-length encoded bitmap. ImageMagick's Dr. Halo decoder unpacks it, and that picture fills the JPG.
Which programs produced the CUT images that convert to JPG?
Dr. Halo, the DOS paint program from Media Cybernetics, and software that shipped its image libraries, such as early PC clip art collections and scanner utilities.
How big is the JPG image from a CUT file?
The JPG keeps the original pixel size of the Dr. Halo picture.
What quality is the CUT to JPG image saved at?
Each JPG is saved at quality 90, a high setting that keeps text and fine lines clear while the file stays compact. Transparent areas are filled with white.
