PCS to RGB conversion is the process of translating a drawing saved in the PCS (Palette Color System) format into an RGB (Red Green Blue) raster color profile so the image can be displayed, edited, or exported by standard graphics software and devices. This conversion maps PCS palette indices and any vector/shape information into explicit RGB pixel values while preserving colors, transparency, and drawing structure where possible.

PCS files typically have the MIME type application/x-pcs and are used in professional drawing applications requiring detailed color data. RGB files use the image/rgb MIME type and are commonly employed for displaying images on screens with red, green, and blue color channels. The conversion process may involve codec adjustments to ensure color accuracy between these formats.
The RGB (.RGB) format is commonly used for drawing. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like PCS.
While specific technical details aren't available here, RGB files generally serve the purpose of storing drawing effectively within their domain.

PCS files are often used in specialized drawing and design applications with a focus on precise color specifications. RGB is a more universal color model widely supported across digital platforms and devices. While PCS is great for detailed color work, RGB offers better compatibility and easier integration with most image editors.
Keep source PCS files under 50–200 MB for fastest browser-based conversion; larger single files may be slow or require a desktop tool.
To preserve exact colors, choose 32-bit RGBA PNG output and select sRGB if the PCS file lacks an embedded ICC profile.
For large batches, convert files in groups of 10–20 to avoid timeouts; use a desktop or command-line tool for thousands of files.
Note format limitations: PCS indexed palettes may map differently to RGB if palettes are modified or missing; manual color correction may be needed afterward.
