Format Details
PCX
PCX (PiCture eXchange) is one of the earliest raster image formats, developed by ZSoft Corporation for PC Paintbrush software in 1985. It uses run-length encoding (RLE) compression and supports color depths from 1-bit to 24-bit. PCX was the dominant image format on DOS-based PCs before being superseded by BMP, JPEG, and PNG in the Windows era.
JPEG
JPG is the most common file extension for the JPEG image format, which uses lossy compression to significantly reduce file sizes while maintaining visually acceptable quality. Every digital camera, smartphone, and web browser supports JPG natively, making it the dominant format for sharing photographs worldwide. Its excellent balance between file size and image quality has kept it the most-used image format for decades.
