PCD to AVIF Conversion: FAQ
What are PCD files?
The PCD (Photo CD) image file format was originally developed by Kodak for storing photos on compact discs. The PCD extension is associated with photos scanned using Kodak equipment, including a 24-bit color format. Though the PCD format failed to become widely popular, it continues to be used by professional photographers because it provides high quality film scans. PCDs can ensure a high degree of accuracy in rendering image details in scanned film negatives and transparencies or diapositives.
What are AVIF files?
AVIF is a new image format launched at the end of 2020. AV1 Image File Format was developed by the Alliance for Open Media in collaboration with Netflix, Google and Cisco. This format was created to be an open-sourced and royalty-free image format with a super-compression efficiency.
