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 The format is now largely superseded by other formats given the target platforms for the software associated with the format are no longer in production, i.e. MS DOS and Windows 1.0.
The legacy EPS format or encapsulated postscript file format was developed as a document interchange format by Adobe systems in 1992 to facilitate cross platform importing and exporting of vector graphical documents between supporting applications and documents. The EPS file is commonly associated with Adobe illustrator and other applications that support the postscript language. The EPS format supports vector graphics, bitmap images, as well as text but is more commonly used for graphic representation. It is worth noting that EPS files exist as final-form representations allowing minimal editing once created. The exception to this is the support of a few transformation operation such as rotation, scaling, and clipping. An EPS file is usually produced to be included in other documents such as text documents.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for PCX to EPS 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 EPS 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 EPS 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.
Postscript language files are typically device independent, however, a postscript language interpreter is still required to preview the contents of any postscript file including EPS files. The EPS format supports 7-bit ASCII for data encoding to ensure maximum portability between systems. The EPS format has however been more formerly superseded by the pdf format, also developed by Adobe Systems.
