What is a PGL file?

PGL files mostly belong to Pagelayer.

PGL files store page layout information used in web design tools. They hold configuration data that defines how pages are structured and styled.

These files are created and managed by tools such as Pagelayer and SiteOrigin Page Builder. They are used to:

Store page design settings
Configure grids, columns, and layout elements
Transfer structure and styling data within a project
Maintain consistency in page rendering

Visit the Pagely website for further information about the software that uses this format.
FilExt.com note: Modifying these files directly may cause design issues; always use the designated page builder tool for edits.

How do you open PGL files?

You need a suitable software like Pagelayer to open a PGL file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your PGL file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a PGL file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
