- The PGC (Portfolio Graphics Compressed) file type is associated with a specific image format primarily designed for storing graphics in a compressed form. It is aimed at minimizing file size while maintaining image quality, making it suitable for digital portfolios or collections where space efficiency is crucial. The PGC format supports various levels of compression, allowing users to balance between image quality and file size according to their needs. This format is particularly useful for professionals or hobbyists looking to showcase their work digitally in a compact and efficient manner.
