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 The format is now largely superseded by other formats given the target platforms for the software associated with the format are no longer in production, i.e. MS DOS and Windows 1.0.
CMX stands for Corel Metafile Exchange Image File, it was a proprietary file format designed and used by the famous software company Corel Corporation. The CMX extension was used mostly in Corel's vector editing program, CorelDRAW or their image editing software CorelPaint. The CMX file not only contained the image but the data within the image which allowed stored information to be communicated between different software that could read that information.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for PCX to CMX 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 CMX 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 CMX 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.
