Convert PCX to VDA
Convert PCX images to VDA format, edit and optimize images online and free.
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 VDA file extension, associated with Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter (TARGA), is a raster graphics file format developed by Truevision Inc. It was designed for high-color and true-color display on IBM-compatible PCs, supporting resolutions matching NTSC and PAL video formats. VDA files are used for digital photos, textures, and video editing, offering various color depths (8 to 32 bits) and alpha channel transparency. The format includes both lossless and lossy compression options, ensuring high-quality image preservation.
