How It Works

How to Convert PCX to ODD

STEP 1

Click inside the file drop area to upload your PCX file or drag & drop it.

Locate your PCX file on your device—typically used for various purposes. Ensure the file is under 50MB to avoid upload issues. If the upload fails, check your internet connection or try compressing the file first.

STEP 2

Select ODD as the output format and click the 'Convert' button.

Choose ODD based on your needs—different formats suit different purposes, like JPEG for smaller file sizes. The conversion process typically takes a few seconds, depending on file size and server load.

STEP 3

Download the converted ODD file instantly after conversion.

Once the conversion is complete, click the download link to save your ODD file. You can then open it in software like a compatible viewer. If the file doesn’t download, ensure your browser allows pop-ups from RunConvert.

STEP 4

You can also send a link to the converted file via email. (Optional)

Enter an email address to receive a secure link to your converted file, which is useful for sharing with clients or accessing later. Links expire after 24 hours for security, and RunConvert ensures your data is protected during transmission.

What is PCX (PC Paintbrush Exchange)?

PCX (PC Paintbrush Exchange) is a bitmap image file format developed by ZSoft Corporation for its PC Paintbrush program. It was one of the first widely adopted bitmap formats on personal computers.

The format supports multiple color depths from 1-bit monochrome to 24-bit true color, and uses a simple run-length encoding (RLE) compression method to reduce file sizes.

Though largely replaced by more efficient formats like PNG and JPEG, PCX files remain important for accessing legacy graphics and in certain specialized applications.

How to open PCX files?

PCX files can be opened with many common image viewing and editing applications, including Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Paint.NET, and IrfanView.

For macOS users, Preview, Pixelmator, and GraphicConverter provide good support for PCX files.

Most modern web browsers don't display PCX files directly, so conversion to a more common format may be necessary for online use.

PCX is Developed by: ZSoft Corporation

PCX was Released on: 1985

What is ODD (OpenDocument Drawing)?

ODD (OpenDocument Drawing) is a file format used for vector drawings and diagrams in the OpenDocument format standard. It's most commonly associated with LibreOffice Draw and Apache OpenOffice Draw applications.

ODD files store vector graphics, text elements, and object information in an XML-based format, making them portable across different platforms and applications that support the OpenDocument standard.

These files can contain multiple pages of drawings, diagrams, flowcharts, and other vector-based illustrations, with support for layers, text, and embedded objects.

How to open ODD?

ODD files can be opened directly with LibreOffice Draw and Apache OpenOffice Draw, which offer full editing capabilities.

Some other vector graphics programs may offer limited support for ODD files through import filters or plugins.

If you don't have these applications installed, you can use LibreOffice Online or other web-based OpenDocument viewers for quick access to the content.

ODD is Developed by: OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards)

ODD was Released on: 2005
