DEC Six Pixels (.sixel)

The SIXEL, or "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Initially designed for DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, it enabled the efficient transfer of bitmap graphics using a series of ASCII characters. Each character represents a 6-pixel high row, making it suitable for 7-bit serial communication. This format was later adapted for modern terminal emulators, extending its utility beyond its original scope.

PCD files contain high-resolution images scanned from film, typically at resolutions of 3072 x 2048 pixels or higher. These files are utilized for preserving, viewing, and editing images using compatible software. The PCD format supports 24-bit color and includes multiple resolutions within a single file, facilitating versatile image processing and archival purposes.
