The Portable Bitmap file is a raster image format intended for storing portable bitmap images. The format contains pixel-based image data rather than editable Photoshop project information.
Adobe Photoshop is the associated software for opening this file type on Windows and macOS. The pfn format appears to be obsolete or rarely used, so support may be limited in current software.
Open the pfn file with Adobe Photoshop on Windows or macOS. If Photoshop does not recognize the file, support may be limited in the installed version.
Adobe Photoshop can be used to open the file and save the image in a more widely supported bitmap format, if the installed version recognizes the pfn file.
