The PCX file format is the native format of the 1980s graphics application PC Paintbrush. Created by ZSoft, PC Paintbrush ran on the MS-DOS operating system and allowed the creation of raster bitmap images.

The file format allowed the storage of image data utilizing simple run-length encoding compression, which resulted in small file sizes. The format has been taken over by more modern formats such as PNG and JPEG, whose superior compression techniques make for more efficient file sizes.

As the PCX format is now classified as a legacy format, support for opening and editing PCX files within modern image editing applications is limited. We do, however, have a series of PCX conversion tools that will allow you to convert a PCX file to most modern formats.
