PICtor format, or PC Paint format, is a raster image format created by John Bridges for his PCPaint graphics program. Filenames use the extension .PIC (sometimes .CLP).

Format
There are multiple versions of the format, and it appears to be somewhat challenging to decode.
The most significant versions are probably the ones written by PC Paint 2.0 and higher. They have a 17-byte header, and are identified by the PaletteFlag field (the 12th byte in the file) having the value 0xff.
Identification
Files begin with signature bytes 0x34 0x12.
