- 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 TIF file is an image file saved in a high-quality graphics format. It is often used for storing images with many colors, typically digital photos, and includes support for layers and multiple pages.
