| Company | Kodak |
| Description | PCD (Photo CD) is Kodak's 1992 format for storing scanned photographs on CD-ROM. Each image is stored at five resolutions (192×128, 384×256, 768×512, 1536×1024, 3072×2048) in a single file, letting software pick the size it needs without resampling. Kodak offered PCD as a service — you mailed in film, got back a CD with digitized images. The product line ended in 2004, but the files persist in archives. |
| Benefits | Multi-resolution design was ahead of its time — pick any of five sizes without server-side resizing. 12-bit color per channel at higher resolutions, YCC color space, Huffman coding. Decent compression for 1992. |
| Drawbacks | Kodak discontinued Photo CD support in 2004. Most modern software opens the highest resolution stored but cannot write new PCD files. The format's quirks (YCC instead of RGB, reversed scan-line order on Pro PhotoCD) require specialized decoders; Contenta Converter PREMIUM handles this. |
