Convert PIX to CIP

The PIX file extension stands for Alias/Wavefront Run-Length Encoding (RLE) Image Format. Developed by Alias Systems Corporation (later acquired by Autodesk), it was designed for storing bitmap images in PowerAnimator and Alias 3D software. This format was instrumental in creating high-resolution 3D models and animations for movies and video games in the 1990s. The RLE compression minimized file size without compromising image quality, optimizing performance for graphics-heavy tasks. Although its usage has declined in favor of more versatile formats, PIX played a significant role in the evolution of computer graphics technology.

A CIP (Cisco IP-Phone Image Bitmap) file is a proprietary format used to store images and graphics for Cisco IP phones. It allows customization of phone interfaces with logos, branding, and themes. Created with Cisco Phone Designer software, CIP files can be installed via Cisco Phone Administrator software or USB drives. While primarily for Cisco IP phones, they can also store subtitles and other data.
