- Description
- The FCX file type, which stands for Faxable PCX, is a specialized image format designed for transmitting fax documents. It is derived from the PCX format, a pioneering image file type developed by ZSoft Corporation, but optimized for fax transmission by compressing the image data to reduce file size and facilitate faster sending and receiving over fax lines. FCX files maintain a balance between image quality and file size, making them suitable for fax communications where bandwidth is limited. This format allows for efficient storage and sharing of fax documents in a digital form while ensuring compatibility with fax machines and fax software.
- An ICO file is an image format used to store icons for Windows programs, files, and folders. It contains two bitmaps: 1) the AND bitmap - the image mask (which determines what part of the icon is transparent) and 2) the XOR bitmap - contains the icon which is mapped onto the image mask. ICO files can be modified to create custom icons.
