Date updated: October 29, 2026
The .papers file extension identifies a native Corel Painter paper texture file. Corel Painter is a painting application from Corel, and paper textures help simulate the surface and grain of traditional art materials.
The file is a Painter resource rather than a standalone image. Corel Painter for Microsoft Windows and Corel Painter for macOS can use paper texture files as part of the application's painting resources.
Open the .papers file from within Corel Painter. Use Corel Painter on Microsoft Windows or Corel Painter for macOS, depending on the platform on which the file is being used.
A paper texture resource generally has no useful standalone conversion. Use it in Corel Painter and export the resulting artwork to an appropriate graphics format if a finished image is needed.
