What is a PSPIMAGE file

PSPIMAGE files mostly belong to PaintShop by Corel. PSPIMAGE is one of the native "Picture tube" file formats for saving multi-layer images or graphic design projects created with PaintShop raster graphics editor. The contents of PSPIMAGE files include raster graphics, vector graphics, layers, text objects, and effects applied to the images. PSPIMAGE format is mainly used to save retouched photographs before exporting them. Design templates created with PaintShop can also be saved in PSPIMAGE format. The final version of the file can be flattened and exported to common image formats (e.g. JPEG).

How can I open a PSPIMAGE file?

You need a suitable software like PaintShop from Corel to open a PSPIMAGE 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.
