What is a PX file

PX files mostly belong to WordPerfect by Corel. PX filename extension is associated with images saved using Pixel picture editing software. Such PX files contain image data, layers, layer effects, masks, paths, and other modifications applied to the image(s) saved in the file. The color model used in a PX file can be grayscale, RGB, CMYK, or HDR. PX is also the filename extension of streaming videos stored by ProShow Producer slideshow and video authoring software. PxWin, a statistics and graphing software that can be used for data visualization saves statistics metadata in PX files. Metadata found in these PX files include keys, dates, codes, sources, character sets, and variable text. The actual data stored in such a PX file is set as the value of the "Data" variable. PX is also the filename extension of the primary database index file used by Paradox relational database management system.

PX file format:

To view or edit PX files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Below you will find our evaluation of the PX files:
