The PCX file extension, standing for PiCture eXchange, is a raster image format developed by ZSoft Corporation in 1985 for its PC Paintbrush software. It became one of the first widely accepted DOS imaging standards, supporting palette-indexed images from 2 to 256 colors and later true-color (24-bit) images. PCX files use RLE (Run-Length Encoding) compression, making them smaller in size. Although largely replaced by formats like BMP, JPEG, and PNG, PCX was pivotal in early computer graphics and is still supported by various image processing software.
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. These files support a range of features including shapes, paths, and text, allowing for detailed and versatile artwork creation. As a standard in the industry, AI files are widely supported by various graphic design software, ensuring compatibility and ease of use in diverse digital projects.
