Convert PNG to PFI

Understanding PNG and PFI file formats

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a widely used raster image format known for its lossless compression and support for transparency. It is commonly used for web graphics, digital photos, and images requiring high quality and transparency.

PFI is the native project file format for PhotoFiltre Studio, a popular image editing software. PFI files store not only the image data but also layers, adjustments, and other editing information, making them ideal for ongoing editing work within PhotoFiltre Studio.

How to convert PNG to PFI

Direct conversion from PNG to PFI is typically performed within the PhotoFiltre Studio application. Since PFI is a proprietary format, most third-party converters do not support it. The best approach is to open your PNG file in PhotoFiltre Studio and save it as a PFI project file.

Step-by-step conversion using PhotoFiltre Studio

1. Open PhotoFiltre Studio on your computer.
2. Go to File → Open and select your PNG image.
3. Edit the image as needed, taking advantage of layers and other features.
4. To save as a PFI file, go to File → Save As.
5. In the save dialog, choose PFI as the file type and click Save.
