Applied Precision CellWorX picture image file

File type category:
Bitmap image file

Date updated: October 2, 2026

CellWorX was developed by Applied Precision as an automated microscopy system, now owned by GE Healthcare. A PNL file stores picture image data captured by a CellWorX microscope.

PNL files are part of the CellWorX imaging workflow rather than general-purpose image files. They are intended to be interpreted by microscopy software that understands the format, including softWoRx Explorer and Bio-Formats-compatible applications.

How to open pnl file?

Open the file with softWoRx Explorer. Alternatively, use microscopy software that includes the Bio-Formats reader for Applied Precision CellWorX files.

How to convert pnl file?

Open the PNL file with software that includes Bio-Formats and export it to a more widely supported image format such as TIFF, when the application provides that option.

Conversion may not preserve all CellWorX-specific metadata or acquisition information. Keep the original PNL file when that information is important.
