PICT at a glance

PICT

Convert to PICT when maintaining compatibility with classic Mac graphics archives or restoring older desktop-publishing assets.

In modern workflows it is chiefly a migration format.

AMR at a glance

AMR

Convert to AMR when the target is a speech-oriented mobile or telephony workflow, such as voicemail systems, call recordings, or compatibility with older handset ecosystems.

It is useful when bandwidth and voice intelligibility matter more than music quality.

For music or general listening, AAC, Opus, or WAV are better targets.
