Convert CR3 to PCX

The CR3 file extension, short for Canon Raw 3, is a digital image file format used by select Canon digital cameras, such as the EOS M50 and EOS R, to store uncompressed or compressed RAW image data. Introduced in 2018, it replaced the older CR2 format and is based on the ISO Base Media File Format, supporting both lossless and lossy compression. CR3 files retain high image quality and detail, making them ideal for professional photo editing in software like Canon Digital Photo Professional and Adobe Lightroom.

The PCX file extension, standing for PiCture eXchange, is a raster image format developed by ZSoft Corporation in 1985 for its PC Paintbrush software. It became one of the first widely accepted DOS imaging standards, supporting palette-indexed images from 2 to 256 colors and later true-color (24-bit) images. PCX files use RLE (Run-Length Encoding) compression, making them smaller in size. Although largely replaced by formats like BMP, JPEG, and PNG, PCX was pivotal in early computer graphics and is still supported by various image processing software.
