Online PCX to TIFF Image Converter

PCX, or PiCture eXchange, is a raster image format developed by ZSoft Corporation, primarily used in the early days of DOS and Windows applications.

PCX files are known for their:

• Simplicity: Easy to read and write due to its straightforward structure.

• Compression: Uses a simple form of RLE (Run-Length Encoding) compression to reduce file size.

• Color Depth: Supports various color depths, from 1-bit monochrome to 24-bit true color images.

Here are some considerations for PCX files:

• Limited Modern Use: Largely obsolete, with limited support in modern software compared to formats like PNG or JPEG.

• Larger File Size: Simple compression methods may not reduce file size as effectively as modern formats.

Overall, PCX is a legacy format that was widely used in early computer graphics applications but has largely been replaced by more efficient and versatile formats.

TIFF, standing for Tagged Image File Format, is a versatile image file format known for its ability to store high-quality images with various features.

TIFF is widely used in professional graphics applications, such as photography, publishing, and medical imaging, due to its ability to:

• Store Lossless or Lossy Data: Supports both lossless compression (maintains image quality) and lossy compression (reduces file size with some quality loss).

• High Color Depth: Handles a wide range of color depths, from basic black and white to complex color palettes, making it suitable for high-fidelity images.

• Layers (Optional): Can store image data in layers, similar to PSD files, but this feature may not be universally supported by all software.

• Metadata: Can embed metadata within the file, such as image creation date, camera settings, and copyright information.

While TIFF offers flexibility and high quality, it can result in larger file sizes compared to some other formats like JPEG. Its versatility makes it a popular choice for professional applications where maintaining image quality and data integrity is crucial.
