Side By Side
The honest trade-off, not a sales pitch.
| Feature | PCX | TIFF |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | RLE bitmap compression | Lossless or lossy, depends on file |
| Transparency | No | Can support alpha in some workflows |
| Animation | No | No, but can be multi-page |
| Typical Size | Legacy bitmap size | Often very large |
| Best For | Older image archives | Scans, print, publishing, archives |
| Verdict | Best to modernize into JPG, PNG, or WebP | Best as a master file, not a web file |
