What is a PXBGND file?

A PXBGND file is a background settings file created by Pixen, a macOS-based pixel art editor developed by Furnace Creek Software for creating 2D graphics. It stores background configuration data for a project, such as background colors and transparency grids. PXBGND files do not contain image layers or artwork; instead, they control how the canvas appears behind the artwork during editing.

Pixen users can create and save custom PXBGND files to maintain a consistent editing environment across multiple projects. For example, a user working on tile-based artwork can set a checkerboard pattern as the background to distinguish transparent areas easily, then save that setup as a PXBGND file for reuse. These files help streamline the editing process by allowing artists to quickly switch between different visual backgrounds tailored to specific tasks or preferences.

To create a PXBGND file with the Pro version of Pixen, select Window → Backgrounds Library, click the + button, and select a starting template from Flat, Checkerboard, Slashed, or Image types. You can then customize the backgrounds.
