About formats

DOCX is the default document format for Microsoft Word since Office 2007, based on the Office Open XML (OOXML) standard published as ECMA-376 and adopted as ISO/IEC 29500. A DOCX file is a ZIP archive containing XML documents that describe the document body (document.xml), styles, themes, headers, footers, footnotes, comments, numbering definitions, and relationships between parts. Media assets like images and embedded objects reside in dedicated directories within the package. The XML structure means document content is human-inspectable and programmable — developers can create, modify, and extract content from DOCX files using standard XML libraries in any programming language without requiring Word. One significant advantage is openness and interoperability: the published specification enables any software to implement DOCX support, and the format is read and written by LibreOffice, Google Docs, Apple Pages, and dozens of other tools across all platforms. Built-in ZIP compression is another practical strength — DOCX files are substantially smaller than equivalent DOC files, and the modular XML structure improves crash recovery since corruption in one part does not necessarily destroy the entire document. The format supports all modern Word capabilities including SmartArt, content controls, bibliography management, accessibility metadata, and real-time co-authoring. DOCX has become the universal standard for document interchange in business, education, and government.

Initial release: January 30, 2007
PGX is a simple single-component raster image format defined as part of the JPEG 2000 standard (ISO/IEC 15444) for use in conformance testing and verification of JPEG 2000 codec implementations. Introduced around 2000 alongside the JPEG 2000 specification itself, PGX files store a single image component (one color channel or grayscale plane) with a text header followed by raw pixel data, providing an unambiguous reference representation against which encoder and decoder outputs can be compared sample by sample. The header is a single ASCII line specifying endianness (ML for big-endian, LM for little-endian), signedness (+ for unsigned, - for signed), bit depth (1 to 32 bits), width, and height. The pixel data follows as raw binary values, each occupying the minimum number of bytes needed for the specified bit depth, with one value per pixel. For multi-component images (like RGB), each component is stored in a separate PGX file. The format's deliberate simplicity — no compression, no metadata, no multi-channel support — ensures there are no ambiguities in interpretation that could mask codec bugs. One advantage is verification precision: PGX's uncompressed, exactly-specified representation allows bit-exact comparison of decoded JPEG 2000 output against reference images, essential for certifying that a codec implementation conforms to the standard. The format's role in the JPEG 2000 conformance testing framework means it is implemented by every serious JPEG 2000 codec (OpenJPEG, Kakadu, etc.) and used in the official ISO conformance test suite. PGX files can also be processed by ImageMagick and various JPEG 2000 development tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert DOCX to PGX?

PGX is used in JPEG 2000 conformance testing — converting DOCX to PGX supports workflows involving JPEG 2000 toolchains or validation.

What opens PGX files?

PGX files can be opened with OpenJPEG tools, ImageMagick, and applications involved in JPEG 2000 development and testing.

Is PGX a general-purpose format?

PGX is specialized for JPEG 2000 workflows. For everyday use, PNG, JPG, or JP2 are more practical choices.

Does it handle all document pages?

Yes, every page of your DOCX is rendered as a separate PGX image file.

Is DOCX to PGX free?

Yes, completely free on Convertio. Paid plans offer expanded limits for heavy usage.
