- 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.
- A JPEG file is an image saved in a compressed graphic format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It supports up to 24-bit color and is compressed using lossy compression, which may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. JPEG files are commonly used for storing digital photos and web graphics.
