The Picture Exchange file format, shortened PCX, with the .pcx filename extension is an image file format developed by ZSoft Corporation. It was initially released in 1985 as a lossless bitmap image format and for a time was the default file format for PC paintbrush. The format is now largely superseded by other formats given the target platforms for the software associated with the format are no longer in production, i.e. MS DOS and Windows 1.0.
A .cdr extension file is a vector graphics format file created with the use of CorelDRAW which is a program used for graphical designing. The digital images created in this format are encoded and then saved using the compressive technique so that images can be opened, edited and stored in a compatible format.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for PCX to CDR conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload PCX files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized CDR results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent CDR audio with dependable progress tracking.
Later iterations of the format supported 24bit color palette, upgrading from the original 2 to 4 colors. Byte ordering used by the format is little endian ordering with three blocks; a 128 byte header, image data and an optional 256 color palette. Image data is stored in an orthoganal arrangement of scan lines ordered from the top to the bottom. Files can eiher be compressed using the simple RLE (Run Length Encoding) algorithm or uncompressed.
A .cdr extension file comprises of text, shapes, lines, colors, images and added effects. A variety of attractive letters, envelopes, web pages, web banners, postcards, brochures and tabloids can be created with the help of CDR format. These files are usually not compatible with other formats unless files are saved in a compatible format using the Corel Application.
