About the PCD format
PCD — Kodak Photo CD
PCD is Kodak's Photo CD format, used to store high-quality digitized photographs from film. Introduced in 1992, Photo CD provided multiple resolution versions of each image on a single disc, making it one of the first professional film digitization standards.
Common uses
- Recovering scanned film photos from Kodak Photo CDs
- Converting legacy photo archives to modern formats
- Digitizing historical film photography collections
- High-resolution film scan archiving
About the GZ format
GZ — Gzip Compressed File
GZ is a single-file compression format based on the DEFLATE algorithm, standardized in RFC 1952. Unlike ZIP or TAR, gzip compresses only a single file. It is ubiquitous on UNIX/Linux systems and is used heavily in HTTP content encoding (gzip compression for web pages), log compression, and as the compression layer in TGZ archives.
Common uses
- Compressing individual files on Linux/macOS
- HTTP content encoding for faster web page delivery
- Log file compression on servers
- Single-file distribution with good compression
