Convert your JPG file to PCX

Convert your JPG to PCX image files with our easy-to-use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) file and, from this, create a new image saved in the PCX (Picture Exchange) format that you can then download and edit within image file editors or use for high-definition printing applications. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple JPG image files; up to 200 files at a time can be converted.

Along with converting JPG image files to PCX, our tool allows you to also adjust the image with some simple effects, such as applying a grayscale filter to the image.

Description

The JPG file format is a popular image format most commonly used for the storage of digital photographs. The format implements a lossy-compression technology that allows for high levels of file compression with little perceptible loss of image quality, making it an ideal format for photographs.

This format is one of the most used on the internet today, with its small file sizes making it ideal for website images. Although there are newer image formats that may offer higher compression and quality, the JPG is still an ideal format for digital photos.

Description

The PCX file format is a legacy image file format originally released in 1985 by ZSoft Corporation. It was the native file format for the PC Paintbrush application and soon became one of the standard image formats for DOS.

The format uses an indexed palette method for storing color information and supports formats starting at 1-bit-per-pixel (bpp) through to 8-bpp, though support for 24-bit color was added later on. Image files based on the PCX format can still be found today and are supported by a limited number of modern applications.
