What is a PLI file?

PLI files mostly belong to Płatnik. PLI files are not a single format but a label used for files in different domains.
For example, one type of PLI file is used in Polish banking systems. These files carry bank transfer instructions and are handled by specialized software, such as the application provided by PKO BP.
Other instances of PLI files follow the macOS property list structure. They often use XML or the plist format and store system or application configuration data. These files are managed with tools like Apple Property List Editor, as found on the Apple website or via Xcode on Apple Developer.
Additional uses include:
  • OpenToonz palette files that save a collection of colors for animation work, often referred to in relation to the Toonz Raster Level Format (OpenToonz docs).
  • Files that either contain PostScript language image data or act as playlists for certain media players.
  • Files used by French public procurement systems, which may be archived in ZIP format.
  • FilExt.com note: This variety means that to open a PLI file, you must check its origin. Using a text editor to inspect its internal structure may reveal if it is in XML, ZIP, or a proprietary format.

    How to open a PLI file

    You need a suitable software like Płatnik to open a PLI 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 PLI file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a PLI file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
