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 PJPEG (Progressive JPEG) is a file extension for images that enhances the standard JPEG format by displaying images in successive waves of increasing detail, improving the user experience during slow network conditions. The JPEG stands for "Joint Photographic Experts Group", the organization that developed the standard in 1992. PJPEG is particularly useful for web applications, as it allows images to appear more quickly and progressively refine in quality, rather than loading from top to bottom like baseline JPEGs.
Select a PCX file from your computer to initiate the upload.
Customize the PCX to PJPEG conversion using available tools before confirming.
Give the converter a few seconds, then download your PJPEG file.
Rotate PCX to right (90° clockwise), to left (90° counter-clockwise), 180°, and convert it to PJPEG.
Flip PCX vertically and/or horizontally (flop), and convert it to PJPEG.
Convert PCX to PJPEG and change the PJPEG quality by adjusting the JPEG compression level.
Once installed, Vertopal CLI supports conversion of PCX image into PJPEG image.
