PiCture eXchange (.pcx)

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.

Braille Ready Format (.brf)

The Braille Ready Format (BRF) is a digital text file format used to store braille transcriptions. Developed by the National Federation of the Blind and the American Printing House for the Blind, BRF files represent braille pages in ASCII text, making them readable by braille displays and embossers. This format supports both contracted and uncontracted braille, facilitating accessibility for visually impaired users. BRF files are essential for converting printed text into a format usable by braille notetakers and refreshable braille displays.
