Technical note

What changes when you convert SVS to PCX

SVS is a pyramidal whole-slide image: one file carries the same scanned slide at several magnifications, and the largest level can run past 100,000 pixels on a side. PCX holds a single flat picture at one resolution. That makes the magnification the decisive choice, because there is no sensible original size to fall back on here: the full-resolution level of a slide scan is larger than most image software will open at all. PCX is lossless, so nothing further is discarded during conversion. What it cannot do is restore detail that SVS compression already removed, and the output file will usually be considerably larger.

FAQ

SVS to PCX Conversion

What are SVS files?

SVS is an image format associated with Aperio medical equipment, such as microscopes or scanscopes. Though similar with the TIFF format in terms of features, SVS has a lot less compatibility with regular image viewers and tends to have a very large size. SVS files contain multiple images in a predefined order, including a baseline tiled image, a thumbnail, intermediate "pyramid" images (made up of tiles), an optional slide label image etc.

What are PCX files?

The PCX (Personal Computer Exchange) image file format is associated with PC Paintbrush, an image editing software initially designed for MS-DOS by ZSoft Corporation. At first, PCX files stored a limited range of colors but in time their range was extended to a 24-bit (true color) palette, and PC Paintbrush was adapted for Windows too. Though widely popular during the days of MS-DOS, the PCX format in time lost its appeal and was gradually replaced by formats such as JPEG and PNG.
