There isn't really a way to do this just now but we will add PXD file format support eventually as we keep working on Pixelmator for iOS. For now, if you need to get a layered file from one app to the other, you can export to PSD as a workaround — not ideal, but it might get the job done.

That's understandable — a Mac + iOS workflow is very important to us, though we haven't had a chance to focus on it too much just yet as there were quite a few things we wanted to add to Pixelmator Pro itself. But the good news is that we're now getting closer to being able to add support for Pixelmator Pro files to Pixelmator for iOS.

Hi! I’m looking for this update too!

I’m sure that a lot of people will use this feature, it will be very helpful!

Have you guys got any update on this feature? Or any way that I can get notified when it’s out?

Thanks!

Note: I’ve just bought the app today and found my self with this issue. Gonna keep the app, hope it’s coming soon 🙌

This update is critical IMO. After having gotten used to this functionality with Affinity Designer/Photo, I am having trouble working in either Adobe or Pixelmator products. Cross-platform/device functionality has increased my productivity by a magnitude and I can no longer live without it. This feature would be killer for an elegant product like Pixelmator Pro.

Yeah, we know it's taking us longer than we'd like but we've had a few digressions along the way (namely, the releases of Pixelmator Photo 2.0 and Pixelmator Photo for iPhone). Now that that's done, we should be getting back to Pixelmator for iOS developments again. :fingers_crossed:

26 months later and I've just run into this problem. I have Pixelmator Photo though I think I've never used it, it seems practically like a clone of Apple Photos though I'll try it more as I'm sure it's better.

So five months since Aurelija mentioned the release of Pixelmator Photo (which has been available for two years now) and over two years of asking for PXD files on iOS - any news? It looks like it will never happen.

Yet another long chunk of time since the last reply and no further details nor updates to Pixelmator for iOS that supports the PXD file format. What is going on? I echo koola's question and sentiment. It feels like this will never happen.

Hi there! PXD file support was added to Pixelmator for iOS in the 2.7 update, released July 14th 2022.
