PCD Image Conversion: Batch Convert, Resize & Organize
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.
Contenta Converter PREMIUM lets you open, convert, and batch process PCD files into modern formats like JPG, PNG, TIFF, PDF, and more. Optimize file size, keep important metadata, and prepare images for web, print, or long-term archiving in just a few clicks.

| 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. | TIFF是個有靈活性的圖像格式，通常保存24位或48位的每色8位或16位（紅，綠，藍）圖像。TIFF的靈活性可說是好處也是壞處，因為沒有一個圖像閱讀器能夠完全處理TIFF的所有種類。TIFF可以是有損或無損。有些TIFF文件提供較好的二值圖像無損壓縮（黑白，無灰）。有些高端數碼相機擁有可以把圖像保存為TIFF格式的選項，採取的無損壓縮算法是LZW。TIFF圖像格式雖然並不廣受網絡瀏覽器的支持，印刷業卻廣為接受TIFF為照片文件的標準。TIFF能夠處理特定電器的色彩空間，例如特定印刷機墨水的CMYK設定。 |
| 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. | LZW無損壓縮功能 |
| 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. | 大的文件大小 |
