PCD stands for Photo CD, an image file format developed by Kodak in the early 1990s. It was designed to store high-quality digital images on CD-ROMs, allowing photographers and consumers to archive photographs efficiently. The format can hold multiple resolutions of the same image, making it versatile for different display needs.
PCD files use a proprietary compression algorithm to store images at several resolutions, from thumbnail to full size, within a single file. These images are typically 24-bit color and can be accessed separately depending on the viewer’s requirements. The format is not widely supported by current mainstream software, but specialized tools and plugins can convert PCD files to more common formats like JPEG or TIFF.
Photo CD files were primarily used before the widespread adoption of JPEG and other modern image formats, especially in professional photography and photo labs. Although it has become less common today, some vintage photo management software still supports PCD files. The format’s multi-resolution storage is a unique feature that predates many modern image scaling techniques.
