How to open PISKEL file?
The most common problem when using Piskel Sprite Format is that a specific PISKEL is not associated with the program. This causes the file PISKEL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PISKEL 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 Piskel
The first step is to check if the computer has the Piskel program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Piskel in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support PISKEL files.
Programs to open PISKEL file
Remember to download programs supporting PISKEL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Piskel with PISKEL files
If, despite the installed application, the PISKEL file does not start in the Piskel application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Piskel application as the default for handling the PISKEL file.
Step 3. Update Piskel to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Piskel program with the Piskel Sprite Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Julian Descottes website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PISKEL 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PISKEL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PISKEL file. Sometimes virus-infected PISKEL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PISKEL file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PISKEL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PISKEL 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the PISKEL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PISKEL file again. However, some background programs may block the PISKEL file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
