What is a PCX (PiCture eXchange) file?

PiCture eXchange (PCX) is one of the oldest raster image formats for personal computers, created for the ZSoft PC Paintbrush program on DOS. PCX stores images using simple run-length encoding, a lossless scheme that works well on flat-coloured graphics but poorly on photographs. It was widely used by early scanners and fax software before TIFF and PNG replaced it.

How to open a PCX file?

Modern operating systems no longer open PCX by default. Viewers that still read it include IrfanView on Windows and XnView MP.

For editing, GIMP and Adobe Photoshop both import PCX images. Since PCX is a legacy format that many programs have dropped, the safest long-term move is to convert your files — use our PCX to JPG converter.

What is a PSD (Photoshop Document) file?

Photoshop Document (PSD) is the default file type for Adobe Photoshop, a powerful and complex graphic design program. PSD can store an image along with a complex array of its corresponding layers, vector paths, objects, filters, and more, all in one file! PSD allows a user to make surgical edits on individual components of an image or a graphic design while retaining the file’s information in an accessible format. One drawback of PSD is that it can be large and unwieldy.

How to open a PSD file?

Adobe Photoshop is the most common program to open a PSD file. A free alternative to Adobe products is the GNU Image Manipulation Program, otherwise known as GIMP.

Due to the size of PSD files, they are not easy to transport, store, or share. To overcome this, PSD is often converted to a file format that can compress the data. Most often, the conversion is to JPEG, which offers lossy compression, or PNG, which offers lossless compression.
