PGX is an uncompressed raster image file format used in JPEG 2000 conformance testing, and said to be used by the "JPEG 2000 Verification Model".

A PGX file stores only a single component, so it is limited to grayscale unless multiple PGX files are combined to make a color image.

PGX files begin with ASCII characters "PG ML", or "PG LM".
