What is a PCC file?

PCC files mostly belong to Unreal Engine. PCC files are used in different areas, and their content depends on the software that created them.
For example, one common use is as a game asset container created with the Unreal Engine. In this case the file holds data like textures, models, sound data, and scripts used in games such as Mass Effect. This data is structured in a way that the game engine can load and use during gameplay.
Other uses include:

Switch Configuration: A PCC file might contain settings for Aruba switches, managed by tools such as HP ProCurve Manager.

Compressed Archive: Some PCC files serve as compressed files or copies of protected files, and they can be handled with utilities like WinZip or 7-Zip.

Personal Certificate: In other instances, a PCC file stores security certificate data.

Print Layout Data: They can also be used to save project or design data for software like Print Shop Deluxe (Broderbund).

Bank Statement Files: Some contain MT940 bank statement information used by applications such as StarMoney (StarMoney).

Embroidery/Design Data: There are versions used for embroidery designs or compressed graphic data for design programs.

Percussion/Code Chunks: A few PCC files hold data for sound modules or code segments in specialized applications like Rhythm Ace.

FilExt.com notes: How you open a PCC file depends on its source. If it is a game asset file, it is best managed with game modding tools or Unreal Engine editors. If it is a network configuration or compressed file, using the related manager or archive utility works best. Always back up the file before attempting any modifications.
