Convert PLT to CUT

Looking for PLT to CUT? Here's why CUT isn't an output option — and the modern formats to use.

We don't create CUT files — it's a legacy format that's effectively read-only. Here's what to convert to instead.

Why PLT to CUT isn't offered

1

CUT is legacy and read-only here

CUT (Dr. Halo) is a 1980s DOS paint format. It can usually be opened and converted from, but it's long obsolete, so there's no modern encoder to create new CUT files.

2

Convert to a current format

For a file that opens everywhere, convert your PLT to SVG, PDF or EPS instead.
