DCX to GRAY Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
DCX is a multi-page container of PCX images — the fax-document format of ZSoft-era DOS software. Convert GRAY dumps exactly like GRAYA — to PNG or JPG with width hints.
iLoveConverter processes everything locally on your computer, which makes it private and fast: no upload wait, no server storage, no limits. Add as many files as you like — batch conversion is built in.

Frequently asked questions
Is this DCX to GRAY converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Will I lose quality converting DCX to GRAY?
No — GRAY is a lossless format, so every pixel of the converted image matches your original DCX file. You can also adjust the quality/size balance before converting when the target format supports compression.
Can I convert several DCX files at once?
Yes — drop as many files as you like into the tool and they are converted in one batch. When more than one file comes out, everything is bundled into a ZIP for a single download.
Will transparent areas survive the conversion to GRAY?
Transparency is kept whenever GRAY actually supports an alpha channel. If the target format has none (like JPG), transparent areas are flattened onto a white background — that is a property of the format, not of this tool.
