About PFI files

PFI (Printer Fonts International) is a file format used to store font information for printers. It is a proprietary format developed by Hewlett-Packard and is not supported by most other software applications. PFI files are used to store fonts for HP printers, and can be identified by the file extension ".pfi".

Converting PFI files can be challenging due to their proprietary nature. To convert PFI files to other formats, you will need to use specialized software. FontForge is a free and open-source font editor that can be used to convert PFI files to other formats such as TrueType (.ttf) and OpenType (.otf). Wikipedia also provides a comprehensive list of other software applications that can be used to convert PFI files.

When converting PFI files, it is important to consider the compatibility of the target file format with the software that will be used to open it. For example, some software applications may not be able to open PFI files, while others may not be able to open TrueType or OpenType files. Additionally, some fonts may not be able to be converted accurately due to the proprietary nature of the PFI format.

Due to the challenges associated with converting PFI files, it is recommended to use the free and easy online website Convert.Guru to convert them. Convert.Guru makes it easy to convert PFI files to other popular formats such as TrueType and OpenType, and also provides advanced features such as font preview and font conversion settings.


The PFI Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best PFI converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
