── WHAT IS THIS? ──
This tool converts images into the PCX (ZSoft Paintbrush) format, which is natively supported by QBasic and many classic DOS programs. Upload any image and convert it to 1-bit monochrome, CGA 4-color, EGA 16-color, VGA 256-color, or 24-bit true color PCX files.
Get the 128-byte PCX header as hex dumps, structured field views, or ready-to-paste QBasic DATA statements. Perfect for retro computing enthusiasts who want to display images in QB45.EXE!
