Description | 🔵 The PCX file format was developed by ZSoft Corporation, with the first release of the .pcx extension coming into the public domain in 1985. PCX is a contraction of PiCture eXchange, and was the first file format to support bitmap images; during its day of prime, PCX was the format of choice on computers that sport the DOS, and Windows operating system. However, the relevance of the PCX file format has been overshadowed by more recent and standard image formats like JPG, PNG, and GIF. The latest release of the PCX file format was in 1991, and as would be expected, the drop in popularity of the PCX has rendered its source company (ZSoft Corp) comatose. |
Technical details | 🔵 As first of its kind, the PCX format was prolific in its hay days, most especially due to its singularity in supporting bitmap images. The standard PCX file has three main elements: a 128-byte header, the actual image data sandwiched in between, and an accompanying 256-color palette – that makes sure your image is not displayed in shades of gray. Another reason why PCX was the file format of choice for pictures in the 1980s was the tremendously low processing power required for data compression. Since PCs were giant in size but petty in processing power, PCX aided the conservation of the same for other essential activities. |

Description | 🔵 .bmp (Bitmap Image File) The .bmp format, also known as bitmap, is a raster graphics image file format used to store digital images. This format was developed by Microsoft for use on Windows, and it is widely supported on both Windows and macOS systems. BMP files are typically large because they contain a detailed, uncompressed representation of the image data. This format is suitable for storing high-quality digital photos, though it's not as commonly used for web or email due to its large file size compared to formats like JPEG or PNG. |
Technical details | 🔵 The `.bmp` format, Bitmap, is a simple raster graphics format developed by Microsoft. Here are the key technical details: - Pixel Storage: No compression, resulting in large file sizes. - Color Depth: Supports various depths, 24-bit offers truecolor. - Uncompressed: Mostly used uncompressed. - Palette: Uses color palette for lower depths. - Header Information: Contains image details. - Alpha Channels: Some support transparency. - Device Independence: Consistent appearance across devices. - Simplicity: Easy to read/write but lacks modern features. - Compatibility: Widely supported but has larger file sizes. - No Metadata: Doesn't support extensive metadata. - Rare for Web: Rarely used due to large size. - Applications: Common in Windows for wallpaper and basic editing. `.bmp` is simple and compatible but not optimized for file size or web use, declining in favor of more efficient formats. |
