What is a PCD file?
PCD (Photo CD) is an image format developed by Kodak to store high-resolution photographs on CDs. It was popular in the 1990s for archiving scanned photos in high quality.
Each PCD file can store multiple resolutions of the same image, from thumbnail to full-resolution prints.
How to open PCD files
PCD files can be opened with software like IrfanView (with plugins), XnView, and some versions of Photoshop. Native support has declined, but conversion tools can help.
To convert a PCD image to JPG or PNG, AnyConv offers a hassle-free online solution.

What is a JPG file?
JPG (or JPEG) stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the team that created the standard back in the early 1990s. It’s one of the most common image formats in the world, known for compressing digital photos while retaining acceptable quality.
JPG uses lossy compression, which means some image data is discarded during saving. This makes JPG files smaller, ideal for web use, email, and social sharing — but less ideal for images that require fine detail or multiple edits.
How to open JPG files
JPG files can be opened on virtually any device — Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux — using default apps like Photos, Preview, or third-party software such as Photoshop and GIMP. Even web browsers can display JPGs natively.
This universal support makes JPG the go-to format for photography, online graphics, and digital documents.
