PC Paintbrush Bitmap Image File

Appropriate program for file extension PCX:

The .PCX file extension identifies bitmap image files created by ZSoft Corporation's PC Paintbrush graphics software. This raster image file format is one of the earliest bitmap formats and so is now largely obsolete, having been replaced by the Windows .BMP format. However this file format continues to be used by certain scanning and fax programs. Scan your system to prevent and identify association errors.

Additional comments:

.PCX files can be opened using a range of graphics packages including MS Paint, Adobe Photoshop and Corel's Paint Shop Pro.
