How to open PFCOLORS file?
The most common problem when using Pixelformer Colors Format is that a specific PFCOLORS is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PFCOLORS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PFCOLORS file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Pixelformer

Programs to open PFCOLORS file
Remember to download programs supporting PFCOLORS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Pixelformer with PFCOLORS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PFCOLORS file still does not use the Pixelformer program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Pixelformer application as the default for handling the PFCOLORS file.
Step 3. Update Pixelformer to the latest version
If, however, after binding Pixelformer with Pixelformer Colors Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Qualibyte page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PFCOLORS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PFCOLORS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PFCOLORS file. However, remember that not every infected PFCOLORS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PFCOLORS files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PFCOLORS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PFCOLORS except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the PFCOLORS file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the PFCOLORS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PFCOLORS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
