The PCDS file extension stands for Photo CD Multi-resolution Bitmap Graphics, a format developed by Kodak in 1991 for digitizing and storing high-quality images on CDs. PCDS files were used to store scanned prints and slides, leveraging proprietary encoding to maintain image quality. This format was part of Kodak's Photo CD system, which aimed to provide a reliable method for archiving and accessing digital photographs.
The AI file extension stands for Adobe Illustrator Artwork and is predominantly used for vector graphics in design and illustration. Introduced by Adobe Systems in 1987 with the release of Adobe Illustrator, AI files are essential in professional graphic design due to their scalability without loss of quality.
