Opening PCD Files without Photo-CD Image, GX IEC Developer Backup File, or Visual Test Software Installed
Different software packages tend to sometimes share similar file types. Photo-CD Image, GX IEC Developer Backup File, and Visual Test are some of the popular programs that use the PCD file extension, so you should be able to use any of these three to open your file. You might even be able to find others by doing a quick Google search.
A word of warning, though. Be sure to scan any free software you download with a malware checker before running it on your computer.
If You Have Photo-CD Image, GX IEC Developer Backup File, or Visual Test Installed
If one of these software packages are already installed on your PC, but it still won't work to open your PCD file, you might have to check that the file associations are correct. Right-click on the file, select "Open With...", and then select Photo-CD Image, GX IEC Developer Backup File, or Visual Test. That will create an association between the PCD file extension and your chosen software.
Your PCD Might Be Corrupt
Finally, if you're still having issues opening your PCD file, download the file again or ask the sender to resend it. It's possible that your PCD file might be corrupt. As a last resort, contact the software developers to see if they may be of further assistance.
Here's a list of PCD-related software programs and their developers:

| GX IEC Developer Backup File | Mitsubishi Electric Corporation |
| Visual Test | Microsoft Corporation |
