PiCture eXchange (PCX) is one of the oldest raster image formats for personal computers, created for the ZSoft PC Paintbrush program on DOS. PCX stores images using simple run-length encoding, a lossless scheme that works well on flat-coloured graphics but poorly on photographs. It was widely used by early scanners and fax software before TIFF and PNG replaced it.
Modern operating systems no longer open PCX by default. Viewers that still read it include IrfanView on Windows and XnView MP.
For editing, GIMP and Adobe Photoshop both import PCX images. Since PCX is a legacy format that many programs have dropped, the safest long-term move is to convert your files — use our PCX to JPG converter.

PostScript (PS) is a page description language created by Adobe that tells a printer exactly how to draw each page — the position of every character, line, and image — rather than storing the page as a picture. Because the description is resolution-independent, the same file prints crisply on a cheap office printer or a professional typesetter. PostScript revolutionised desktop publishing in the 1980s and is the direct ancestor of PDF.
The standard tool is Ghostscript, a PostScript interpreter, usually paired with a viewer such as GSview or the built-in viewers on Linux.
On Linux, Evince and Okular open PS directly. macOS dropped native PostScript support after Mojave, so Ghostscript is needed there too. Since almost nothing outside printing workflows reads PS any more, converting it is usually the quickest solution — try our PS to PDF tool.
