Convert TIFF to PXD

Understanding TIFF and PXD file formats

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a widely used raster image format known for its high quality and support for lossless compression. It is commonly used in photography, publishing, and scanning due to its ability to store detailed image data and multiple layers.

PXD is the native layered image file format used by Pixlr, a popular online photo editor. PXD files preserve all layers, adjustments, and effects, making them ideal for ongoing editing within Pixlr.

Converting a TIFF file to PXD allows you to edit the image in Pixlr while retaining layers and non-destructive editing capabilities. This is especially useful for collaborative projects or when you want to take advantage of Pixlr's online editing tools.
