- 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 JPG file is an image saved in a compressed image format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It is commonly used for storing digital photos and used by most digital cameras to save images. JPG files are among the most common image files along with .PNG, .TIF, and .GIF.
