How can I convert PICT format file on Big Sur

I have an old Keynote file that contains a PICT-formatted picture from my 2007 archive, which I want to use now.

Keynote refuses to convert it. Is there any way I can convert into any newer format on Big Sur?

For converting image files, GraphicsMagick is usually a good choice. It supports PICT. You can install it via Homebrew:

brew install graphicsmagick

To convert a file, call gm convert <input> <output>, the format is usually auto-detected using the file extension. See the manual for options.

Try GraphicConverter which has a free demo.

I can't find a list of supported file types on their page, but I've yet to find anything it can't handle.

After comments, I downloaded a test .pict file from https://filesamples.com/formats/pict to see what could open it.

I tested a handful of these & all were successful.
Perhaps there's an issue with your image file.
