Open PSPCACHE File

A PSPCACHE file, specific to PaintShop Pro, is a type of data file associated with Corel's Photo editing software. The primary purpose of these files is to serve as cache files where the program temporarily stores data. The data could include information about the currently opened image like zoom level, current tool, and other editing details. There are several ways to open and use such files, though they�re chiefly handled/targeted by PaintShop Pro. Let's explore these ways.

PaintShop Pro natively uses PSPCACHE files as a means of caching data. The software automatically generates and reads these files in the background.

Though they're not designed for this purpose, text editors like Notepad++ or Sublime Text can open PSPCACHE files. It's important to note the resulting content might be unreadable, given these files aren't meant to be accessed in this format.

Converting PSPCACHE to Other Formats

No well-known conversion methods currently exist for PSPCACHE files. They are designed to be specific to PaintShop Pro without intentional compatibility with other software or general formats.
