Download PikaXPS

PikaXPS is free and open source (GPLv3). No account, no Python install required.

Download (latest version)

These links download the file directly. (To browse every version, see the Releases page — there, pick the .dmg / .zip under Assets, not the auto-generated “Source code”.)

The app is unsigned (no paid Apple/Microsoft certificate), so on first launch your OS will warn you. That’s expected — here’s the one-time step to allow it:

Opening it on macOS (Apple Silicon)

  1. Open the .dmg and drag PikaXPS into Applications.
  2. Allow the unsigned app (pick whichever works on your macOS):
    • Recommended: open Terminal and run xattr -cr "/Applications/PikaXPS.app", then open PikaXPS normally. (This just clears the download‑quarantine flag — it’s why “damaged, can’t be opened” appears.)
    • Or via Settings: double‑click PikaXPS once (it gets blocked) → open System Settings → Privacy & Security → scroll down → Open Anyway → Open.
    • Older macOS: right‑click the app → Open → Open.

Opening it on Windows (10 / 11, x64)

  1. Right‑click the .zip → Extract All. Don’t run it from inside the zip — the app needs the whole extracted folder.
  2. Open the extracted PikaXPS folder and run PikaXPS.exe.
  3. If a blue SmartScreen box appears: More info → Run anyway (it’s unsigned; the warning fades as more people download).

Terminal window
git clone https://github.com/contact993/pikaxps && cd pikaxps
