A DCX file starts with a signature identifying it. It is followed by a list of file offsets to individual .pcx images. The .pcx files are embedded within the DCX.
Some applications that open DCX files are Adobe Photoshop, Corel PaintShop Pro, and IrfanView. We also have free online file viewers for DCX files. They allow viewing, editing, converting, merging, and comparing DCX files without installing anything.
DCX files were commonly used to store faxes and scanned images. They were popular in early computing.
