What is a PXZ file?

PXZ files mostly belong to Pixelmator Pro. PXZ files are used by Pixelmator Pro to store image data in a compressed format. They are built on the ZIP archive format, which bundles multiple image elements and editing details into one file.
When you open a PXZ file with Pixelmator Pro, you see all the image layers and adjustments intact. You may also use a ZIP extraction tool to view the internal structure, but the file is meant for use in Pixelmator Pro only.
For more details, visit the official website: Pixelmator Pro.

  • Format: ZIP-based archive
  • Purpose: Store image data and editing details
  • Usage: Optimized for Pixelmator Pro
  • Alternative Access: Can be unzipped with generic tools, though full editing requires Pixelmator Pro
