Both formats, briefly
PCXIN
PCX is a DOS era format, originally the native file of PC Paintbrush, and for years it was how images moved between early PC programs. It uses run length encoding, supports palettes up to 24 bit color, and is simple enough that a decoder fits in a page of code. Nothing new is written in PCX today. You run into it in old archives, scanner utilities and retro computing projects.
GIFOUT
GIF is the old format that short looping animations never left. Each frame is limited to 256 colors, which keeps files small and flat artwork clean while photographs come out banded. Compression is lossless within that palette, and transparency is a simple on or off per pixel with no soft edges. Pick GIF when you want a moving image that plays in any browser, email client or chat window without a video player.
