PJXL files were probably used with HP PaintJet series printers for graphics data. They are associated with the HP PaintJet XL PCL graphics format and may contain printer-oriented graphics information rather than a general-purpose editable image.
Because this is a legacy printer format, it is unlikely to be supported by current graphics applications. A file may need compatible HP printer software or hardware to be used.
A PJXL file is not normally opened as an image. To use it as intended, send it to a compatible HP PaintJet XL printer through suitable legacy printer software or a driver.
Modern image viewers and editors generally do not support this printer-specific format.
PJXL files are not standard image files, so common image converters may not support them.
If compatible legacy software can render the file, the result may be saved or captured in a modern image format, but this may not preserve the original data exactly.
