What is a PZL file

PZL files mostly belong to Pazligsaw. PZL files are used for storing jigsaw puzzle data used in puzzle games. They hold image information that is divided into pieces, along with the layout instructions that the game engine uses to display a puzzle.
Key details summarized by FilExt.com include:
  • Jigsaw puzzle data: The file contains segmented image data designed for assembling a puzzle.
  • Software association: It is used by applications such as Pazligsaw and Jigsaw Puzzle Creator.
  • Online resource: One variant of these files is linked to an online resource, as seen on the Jigsaw Planet webpage.
  • FilExt.com tip: The file is not a standard image and typically requires its native puzzle software to open and edit. It may also include hidden metadata that tracks the puzzle state during gameplay.
