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.
The G4 file extension is linked to the CCITT Group 4 Fax Image format, recognized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for its ability to compress monochrome images without data loss. This format is integral to fax technology, employing a two-dimensional coding system that identifies image patterns, resulting in high compression ratios and minimized file sizes, key for efficient document transmission.
