What This Feature Does

A project file saves the editable data of your work. Unlike ordinary images, a project file can be reopened to continue editing layers, color palettes, and animation frames.

File Description

  • The project file extension is .pxa
  • It is not an ordinary image
  • It is used for backup, migration, and continued editing

Where to Access

In the editor or project-related menu, select Export Project File.

How to Operate

  1. Open the project export entry.
  2. Confirm the file name.
  3. Choose the save location.
  4. After saving, a .pxa file will be generated.

What the Project File Saves

  • Canvas size
  • Color palette
  • Pixel content
  • Animation frames
  • Basic information such as work name

Usage Suggestions

  • For important works, it is recommended to save both the image and the project file.
  • When continuing creation on another device, prioritize exporting the project file.
  • Before publishing, export a project file first to facilitate future rollback or modification.
