Convert your PCX file to QOI

Convert your PCX to QOI image files with our easy-to-use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a PCX (Picture Exchange) file and, from this, create a new image saved in the QOI (Quite OK Image Format) 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 PCX image files; up to 200 files at a time can be converted.

Along with converting PCX image files to QOI, our tool allows you to also adjust the image with some simple effects, such as applying a grayscale filter to the image. These additional options are available by selecting the Options button. Along with grayscale, you can also mirror or flip the image if needed. For single PCX file uploads, you will also see options to resize and rotate your image.

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.

Description

The QOI file format is a modern image format capable of storing full color (32-bit) images in a compact format, with file sizes of QOI files similar to those of a PNG file.

QOI files are designed first and foremost with encoding and decoding speed in mind. It is many times faster to encode or decode an image into the QOI format than other formats, such as PNG.
