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.
TGAOUT
TGA came out of Truevision's early graphics hardware and stayed in use in games and 3D work. It stores 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits per pixel, and the 32 bit version carries a straightforward alpha channel that texture pipelines read without surprises. Compression is optional run length encoding, so decoding stays cheap. Most TGA files you meet are game textures, render output, or source art from older animation tools.
