| Extension | .rle |
| Category | 🔵 images |
| Description | 🔵 The RLE (Run-Length Encoding) format is a simple bitmap image format that uses run-length encoding to compress image data. It was commonly used in the early days of computer graphics and is still supported by some software today. |
| Technical details | 🔵 RLE-encoded images are stored as a series of scanlines, with each scanline consisting of a series of RLE-encoded packets. Each packet contains a count of the number of pixels to be repeated, followed by the pixel value to be repeated. The count is stored in a single byte, which limits the maximum run length to 255 pixels. The RLE format supports both monochrome and color images, with color images using either 8-bit or 24-bit color depth. In the case of 8-bit color depth, the image is stored as a series of color indices, while in the case of 24-bit color depth, each pixel is represented as three consecutive bytes in the order of red, green, and blue. |

| Description | 🔵 The PCX file format was developed by ZSoft Corporation, with the first release of the .pcx extension entering the public domain in 1985. PCX stands for PiCture eXchange, and it was the first file format to support bitmap images. During its heyday, PCX was the go-to format on computers running DOS and Windows operating systems. However, the popularity of the PCX format has waned in favor of more modern and standard image formats like JPG, PNG, and GIF. The most recent release of the PCX file format was in 1991, and as a result, the decline in its usage has unfortunately left ZSoft Corp in a state of dormancy. |
| Technical details | 🔵 As the first of its kind, the PCX format was widely used during its peak, mainly because of its support for bitmap images. A standard PCX file consists of three primary components: a 128-byte header, the actual image data, and a 256-color palette to ensure vibrant display. One of the reasons PCX was popular for pictures in the 1980s was its low processing power requirement for data compression. Given the limited processing power of PCs at the time, PCX helped conserve resources for other essential tasks. |
