Opening existing images
There are a few methods for opening an image in an existing file.
Tip: You can paste images into Pixelitor using one of the Paste commands in the Edit menu or an associated shortcut, such as Ctrl+V.
To open an existing image by navigating to it
- Go to File > Open or press Ctrl+O.
- In the dialog box, navigate to the file.
- Double-click the file, or select it and then select Open.
To open a recently used image
- Select File > Recent Files.
- Select a file.
To open an existing image using drag-and-drop
- Drag an image file, such as from your desktop or file management system, into the main panel in Pixelitor.
To open an existing image in a file management system
- In a file management system, such as Microsoft File Explorer, double-click a Pixelitor file, which has a .pxc suffix. Note that this assumes you have installed Pixelitor and are not just running a Pixelitor JAR file.
