What changes in this conversion

  • JPG uses lossy compression, so some image detail is discarded permanently in exchange for a much smaller file.
  • JPG opens almost everywhere, so the converted file will work on devices and programs that refused the original PCX.

How to use

  1. Add your PCX file

    Drag the PCX file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.

  2. Confirm JPG as the output

    JPG is already selected as the output format on this page. A quality slider and width/height fields appear — lowering quality shrinks the file.

  3. Run the conversion

    Press the convert button. A single image is usually done before you finish reading this sentence.

  4. Download the JPG file

    When it finishes, download the JPG file. Converting multiple files gives you the option to download them together as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Is converting PCX to JPG really free?

Yes. PCX to JPG conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.

Are my PCX files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the PCX file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.

Does converting PCX to JPG reduce quality?

JPG uses lossy compression, so some detail is discarded. At high quality settings the difference is usually invisible, and the file becomes far smaller.

Is there a file size limit for PCX to JPG conversion?

The free plan handles files up to 200MB. Because processing happens on your own device, very large files depend on your computer's memory rather than a server quota.
