Extract text from Pixie 3 projects (P3I)
To convert P3I projects to another format, you need Pixie or other Page Layout software.
To convert other file formats to the "Educational Project File" file type, you need software like Pixie or a similar tool.
A .P3I file is a proprietary creative project created by Tech4Learning Pixie 3, an educational software widely used in K-12 schools for digital storytelling. These files are containers that hold a student's drawings, text, stickers, and voice recordings in a specific layout.
The Problem: Because .P3I files are strictly proprietary to the legacy Pixie 3 software, they cannot be opened by standard image viewers, web browsers, or parents trying to view their child's schoolwork at home. If you do not have Pixie 3 installed (which is now an older version, succeeded by Wixie), the file is essentially a "black box" of data that cannot be viewed or shared.
The Solution: To make these files usable, they must be converted into standard formats. For preserving the entire multi-page project with layout integrity, PDF is the best target. For sharing individual drawings or slides on social media, converting to JPG or PNG is ideal. While direct online converters for .P3I are rare due to the closed format, the most reliable method is using the original Pixie software or its cloud-based successor, Wixie, to open and export the content.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our P3I converter.
