About the PCX format
PCX — Personal Computer Exchange
PCX is one of the earliest raster image formats for personal computers, developed by ZSoft Corporation in 1985 for their PC Paintbrush software. It was the dominant image format on DOS and early Windows systems before TIFF and JPEG became widespread.
Common uses
- Recovering old DOS and early Windows images
- Legacy paint software archives
- Converting early PC graphics to modern formats
- Historical computer graphics preservation
About the HEIF format
HEIF — High Efficiency Image File Format
HEIF is the container format standard developed by MPEG for storing images encoded with HEVC (H.265). While HEIC is the specific Apple implementation, HEIF is the underlying open standard that supports a broader range of encoders including AV1 (AVIF).
Common uses
- Cross-platform modern image delivery
- HDR and wide color gamut images
- Image sequences and live photo storage
- Next-generation camera output formats
