Convert ARW to DCX

The ARW file extension stands for Sony Alpha Raw, a raw image file format used by Sony's Alpha series digital cameras. ARW files contain uncompressed, minimally processed data directly from the camera's sensor, allowing photographers to achieve higher-quality images and more precise edits. Introduced with Sony's Alpha DSLR series, this format is based on the TIFF specification and requires specialized software, such as Adobe Photoshop or Sony's Imaging Edge, for viewing and editing.

The DCX file extension, standing for ZSoft Multi-page Paintbrush Image, is a raster image format developed by ZSoft Corporation. It is primarily used for creating multi-page digital fax files, containing a sequence of PCX images. Each DCX file begins with a small header identifying the file, followed by multiple embedded PCX files. This format was widely adopted in early digital faxing and document imaging applications due to its ability to handle multiple pages within a single file.
