- Description
- PCX, standing for Paintbrush Bitmap Image, is a raster image format developed by ZSoft Corporation for their PC Paintbrush graphics program. Initially released in the 1980s, PCX was one of the first widely used bitmap image formats on IBM PC compatible computers. The format supports 1-bit monochrome, 4-bit palette, 8-bit palette, and 24-bit true color images, allowing for a wide range of colors and shades.
- The dot file extension is associated with Microsoft Word, a popular word processing software developed by Microsoft. Specifically, a dot file is a Word Document Template, which serves as a blueprint for creating multiple documents with a similar format, layout, and structure. These templates can include predefined styles, formatting, text, and even images that can be used to create new documents with a consistent look and feel, saving time and ensuring uniformity across documents for personal, educational, or business purposes.
