One Nikon D60 RAW file converted to five formats, at quality 90 where the format has a quality setting. PNG is lossless, so it is the largest. Seconds are the median of three runs. Measured with the Contenta Converter 9.0.35 command line on an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, 2026-09-30.

Each file holds the same photo at several sizes, up to 3072×2048. Windows Photos cannot open it. Free viewers open one file at a time; Contenta Converter converts a whole disc to JPG at full resolution.

How to open a .PCD file on Windows

  1. IrfanView (free). Opens a single PCD file. Use Save As to keep that photo as a JPG.
  2. XnView (free). Also opens single PCD files. Fine for looking through a few photos.
  3. Contenta Converter, for a whole disc. Drop the Photo CD or its folder, pick JPG, PNG or TIFF, and every photo is converted at the full 3072×2048 size, not the 768×512 preview. Runs on Windows.

公司

Kodak
說明 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.
優點 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.
缺點 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.

Frequently Asked Questions about PCD

How do I open a PCD file on Windows?

Windows Photos cannot open PCD files, and most modern editors dropped support. The free viewers IrfanView and XnView open single PCD files. To convert a whole Kodak Photo CD to JPG in one pass, use Contenta Converter.

Can I open PCD files on a Mac?

Contenta Converter runs on Windows only; there is no Mac version. If you can use a Windows PC once, convert the disc to JPG there. The JPG files then open on any Mac.

Do I get the full resolution from my Photo CD?

Yes. Each PCD file stores the photo at several sizes. Contenta Converter decodes the largest one, 3072×2048 (16Base), not the small 768×512 preview, and saves it as JPG, PNG or TIFF.
