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 OTB (Over The Air Bitmap) file extension, developed by Nokia, is used for transmitting black and white bitmap images between mobile phones, particularly Nokia and Siemens models. These images, with a maximum resolution of 255x255 pixels, are often sent via SMS in either hexadecimal text or binary format. Historically, OTB files were popular in the early days of mobile communication for sending simple graphics, icons, and wallpapers when data transmission speeds were limited.
