- 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.
- Based on HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding), the HEIF format is an image file container with one or multiple images and is the default image format for Apple Live Photos. It replaced the JPEG format as it's smaller in size and has lossless compression ensuring high-quality photos.
