A PPF file is a particle effect that is applied to a PopCap Game Animation (.PAM) file. It is used to more precisely render a cloud, fire, explosion, fluid, or other particle-based object's movement in a PopCap video game. PPF files are not meant to be opened by players.

Many PopCap video games, including Plants Vs. Zombies 2 and Peggle 2, use PPF files to apply additional effects to PAM animations. In many games, PPF files are stored within .RSB asset archives. You may also see PPF files referred to as PIEffect files or PopAnim Image Effect files.

There is currently no way to open or edit PPF files outside the PopCap games that use them.

A PPF file contains preferences for a teamwork project (.PLP file) created with GRAPHISOFT Archicad architectural designing software. It stores preferences, including standards and working methods applied to the project, to maintain consistency across all Archicad users working on the project.

GRAPHISOFT Archicad is a building information modeling (BIM) application for Windows and macOS users. The primary users of the software are architects designing the appearance of buildings, including their interiors, exteriors, and landscapes.

Examples of preferences stored in a PPF file include dimensions, calculation units and rules, zones, and reference levels. PPF files also contain preferences regarding teamwork access.

You can only open PPF files with GRAPHISOFT Archicad in Windows and macOS. To modify the preferences in the PPF file, you must hold access rights and reserve the "Project Preference" dialog box.
