The PXM file extension is associated with .pxm image files that are created with the Pixelmator, proprietary graphic editing software. This type of image file uses layers and flexible adjustment features, allowing the user to customize and create a more visually appealing and complex graphics than raster image formats such as JPEG or PNG. Pixelmator files are stored in a unique format, supporting a range of graphic effects, like gradients, shadows, reflective surfaces, and other special visual elements.
PXM files are saved in a proprietary format that enables users to work with multiple layers in the same file. All the data from each layer is maintained, including color adjustments, transparencies, and special graphic effects. The PXM layout also saves the properties of each layer and each graphical element within the image, including groupings. This not only makes them perfect for storing all-in-one picture contents for multiple purposes but also makes them quickly adaptable for new compositions or creations.

Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PXM) 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 .PXM 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 .PXM 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 .PXM 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 .PXM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PXM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PXM 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 .PXM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PXM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PXM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
