What is a .PXM file?
A .PXM file is a type of image file specifically used by Pixelmator Classic and Pixelmator, which are programs designed for editing images on macOS and iOS devices. The .PXM format is the standard file format used by these applications to save images. This means that when you create or edit an image in Pixelmator Classic or Pixelmator, it can be saved as a .PXM file. The .PXM file format is beneficial because it preserves all the elements of your image in layers. This includes any image layers, masks (which are used to hide parts of the image), annotations (notes or comments added to the image), and other adjustments you might have made during editing. This layered saving makes it easier to make further edits to each element of the image separately without affecting the whole image.
To open a .PXM file, you can use Pixelmator Classic or Pixelmator Pro, which are available for macOS. If you are using an iOS device like an iPhone or iPad, you can open .PXM files using the Pixelmator app available for iOS. Additionally, Pixelmator 2, which is a newer version of the app, can also open and handle .PXM files. These programs are specifically designed to work with .PXM files and offer a range of tools for editing and enhancing your images.
