- 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.
- WebP Image (WEP) is an image file format developed by Google in 2010. It is based on the VP8 video format and is used to create smaller, higher quality, and lossy compressed images. It is supported by most major web browsers and is commonly used for web graphics.
