What is a PNTR file?

PNTR files mostly belong to Paintstorm Studio. PNTR files are project files used primarily within digital painting apps such as Paintstorm Studio. They are essentially a ZIP archive that bundles together layers, settings, and other project-specific data.
Each PNTR file contains detailed information for non-destructive editing, making it possible to save a complex work environment with multiple layers and configurations. This format is not simply a flattened image; it retains the structure of the editing process.

Primary use: Manage and store digital painting projects.

Alternate use: Also recognized as an Infinite Painter project file in some cases.

Technical note: Because the internal format is based on ZIP, advanced users can rename the extension to ".zip" and extract the contents to inspect the individual project components.

FilExt.com tip: The file is closely related to workflows seen in applications like Procreate, where project file organization and layered edits are core to the creative process.

How do you open PNTR files?

You need a suitable software like Paintstorm Studio to open a PNTR 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.
