File Description

PCX is one of the most widely used storage formats on Microsoft MS-DOS platform. PCX is originated with ZSoft's MS-DOS-based PC Paintbrush which is bundled with every copy of Microsoft Windows sold. There was also a version of Microsoft Paintbrush for Windows.

The original PCX format stored images with no more than 16 colors, due to the limitations of Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) display technology. But now, it supports 24-bit color images, 8-bit grayscale and indexed color images. PCX is usually compressed using RLE encoding.

The PCX file format is now only used by some fax and scanning applications, and multi-page PCX fax documents use the .DCX extension.
