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.

A JPG file is a compressed and highly efficient image file format whose aim is to store photographic-quality images using a fraction of the storage space compared to other lossy and non-lossy image compression methods available at the time.

The compression used by JPG encoders is "lossy", meaning image colours that are not perceptible to the human eye are discarded during the compression process. The removal of this colour data greatly reduces the size of the final JPG file with no discernible loss in quality.

Due to their compact and high-quality format, JPG files are one of the primary image formats used by websites, digital and phone/tablet cameras, and more. This widespread support means JPG files can be edited within most popular image editing software.
