What is a PCX (PiCture eXchange) file?

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.

How to open a PCX file?

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.

What is a WebP file?

WebP is an open-source file type that uses predictive compression to create images that are ideal for web pages and mobile applications. WebP images are as much as 30 percent smaller than JPEG (JPG) and Portable Network Graphics (PNG) files, with similar visual quality. WebP images load quickly on web pages and mobile applications.

How to open a WebP file?

The default program for opening WebP is Google Chrome (Chrome), which works across platforms. WebP files also open automatically on GIMP and Microsoft Paint. Besides Chrome, all other web browsers support the WebP format.

Alternative free viewers to try are Pixelmator and Photopea. Also, try Corel PaintShop Pro. Prior to using IrfanView, Windows Photo Viewer, and Adobe Photoshop, be sure to install the plugins for opening WebP.
