Understanding the PIF File Extension

Some software developers share a common file format, which is why Macintosh Compressed File Archive, GDF Format Vector Image, and Windows Program Information File all use the PIF file format. However, some files are intended to be opened in binary format, which means it must be opened by the program that created it.

If you don't have the software in which your PIF file was created on your PC, you may be able to open it by setting your default file associations to open PIF files in a similar program, such as GDF Format Vector Image, or Windows Program Information File, or any other software that uses PIF files.
