- Description
- The PCS file format is associated with Pfaff sewing and embroidery machines. It is specifically designed to store embroidery design data that can be read and utilized by Pfaff-branded machines. A PCS file contains instructions on stitches, thread colors, and other design elements necessary for the machine to accurately recreate the embroidery pattern on fabric. This file format allows for the transfer and storage of embroidery designs, enabling users to share, edit, and manage their embroidery projects efficiently.
- Group 4 (G4) used for black and white lossless compression to maintain high-quality images, commonly used in TIFF format compression by fax machines. A picture is seen as black dots and lines on a blank page; the fewer the dots and lines are, the lesser the file size.
