- Description
- Pfaff Embroidery Design Files (PCM) are a proprietary file format used to store embroidery designs produced by the Pfaff brand of embroidery machines. PCM files contain stitch patterns which can be used to embroidery clothing, accessories, and other textiles. These files can be opened and edited using various Pfaff design software applications.
- It is an image compression codec file with the same quality as .jpeg, but that is ten smaller. It supports HDR (High Dynamic Range). SDR (Standard Dynamic Range), and WCG (Wide Color Gamut) images. Also, it contains both the image sequences and image items. The only pitfall is that a few applications support it.
