Convert a file to PDN

To convert other file formats to the "Layered Raster Image" file type, you need software like Paint.NET or a similar tool.


About PDN files

The .PDN file is a layered raster image format for Paint.NET. Users save projects in this format to keep image layers, blending modes, and pixel data intact for future editing.

Only Paint.NET can open these files natively on Windows computers. You can learn more about the editor on Wikipedia.

The main problem with the .PDN format is low compatibility. It is proprietary. Web browsers, smartphones, macOS, and standard image viewers cannot read it. Professional tools like Adobe Photoshop also do not support .PDN files. If you send a .PDN to a Mac user, they cannot open it. The files are also large because uncompressed layer data takes up heavy disk space.

You must convert the file to fix these problems. Convert to PSD to keep layers and edit the file in other design software. Convert to WEBP for fast web loading. Convert to PNG or JPG to share a flat image with anyone. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.

Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your PDN file.
