What is a .PAT file?
PAT is a Photoshop pattern-preset file. Created and opened by Adobe Photoshop.
- Did you know
- PAT files store tileable patterns for filling and texturing in Photoshop.
- A single PAT file can hold a whole library of tileable patterns for filling and texturing in Photoshop.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify Adobe project files and read their metadata: Photoshop (PSD, PSB), Illustrator (AI), InDesign (INDD), After Effects (AEP, AEPX, AET) with composition / layer / effect and asset extraction, Premiere Pro and Elements (PRPROJ, PREL) with sequence and media counts, XD, Animate (FLA), and Lightroom.
- Depth of analysis
- .PAT is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .PAT file
- Drag a .PAT file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
