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 PCX was the dominant image format on DOS-based PCs before being superseded by BMP, JPEG, and PNG in the Windows era.
SVG
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format maintained by the W3C as an open web standard. Unlike raster formats, SVG images are mathematically defined and scale infinitely without any quality loss, and can be styled and animated with CSS and JavaScript directly in browsers. SVG is the definitive format for logos, icons, illustrations, and data visualizations that must look crisp across every screen size and resolution.
