| PixMaker Project Format | Avid Technology | Plugin Files |
The PIM file extension is associated with the Avid Pro Tools, a powerful and comprehensive suite of digital audio workstation software. It's used to store controller plug-in mappings, which are key arrangements and pre-configured shortcut commands used to control various aspects of the application, such as playback, recording, sound settings and more. The contents of the file are usually readable as plain text and can be modified using most text editors.
What is a PIM File?
A PIM file stores custom controller mappings which tell the software how to interpret incoming commands from MIDI control surfaces or other peripherals. It also allows users to customize which functions are available to them and makes operating the application easier. The internal format is based on XML, although there is no requirement that external editors use the same structure.
Similar File Extensions
The .PIM file extension shares similarity with .DPM, SESS, .SSN, and .STS, which are associated with similar projects within the Pro Tools range.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PIM) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .PIM extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .PIM file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .PIM extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .PIM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PIM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PIM file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .PIM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PIM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PIM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
