About PXC files
A .pxc file is a cache file created by Photodex ProShow (including ProShow Gold and ProShow Producer). It stores temporary rendering data, audio waveforms, and thumbnails to speed up the loading of a slideshow project. The primary disadvantage of the .pxc format is that it is entirely proprietary and relies on a discontinued software platform, as Photodex closed in 2020. Importantly, a .pxc file does not contain actual photos, videos, or audio files. Users often mistakenly believe they can convert a .pxc file directly to MP4 or JPG, but this is impossible without the original psh project file and the local media assets. To convert your slideshow to a video format, you must open the original project in ProShow and export it. Because this is a closed, proprietary cache format, standard online converters fail to process it. Just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the format, view its internal structure, and determine if any embedded text or recognizable data can be recovered.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PXC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert PXC file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Photodex ProShow or similar software from the "Slideshow Cache Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to PXC, try Photodex ProShow or another comparable tool in the "Slideshow Cache Storage" category.
The PXC Converter Story
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 PXC converter.
