Open PC-Axis statistics on Apple devices
PxReader is a native viewer for PX files, the text-based PC-Axis format used by statistical offices and public data portals. Open a document from Files on iPhone or iPad, or from Finder on Mac. Processing stays on the device and the document remains where you chose to store it.
Read complex tables clearly
PxReader turns PC-Axis dimensions, categories, and values into an adaptive table or list. You can move through datasets on iPhone, iPad, and Mac without sending the document to a conversion service.
Pivot and filter
Move dimensions between rows and columns to approach the same dataset from another angle. Filter categories to focus the table on the places, periods, measures, or classifications relevant to your question.
Understand PC-Axis metadata
PC-Axis documents can carry titles, sources, units, dates, notes, contacts, copyright information, and official-statistics markers. Availability varies by publisher, so consult the original statistics provider when a file does not include the context you need.
Switch embedded languages
Many statistical publishers include more than one language in a single PX file. PxReader can switch among the languages embedded by the publisher without downloading another copy.
Convert a table to CSV
PxReader Pro can export a table as CSV for use in spreadsheets, scripts, and research workflows. Conversion happens locally, and the system file exporter lets you choose the destination.
Privacy by design
PxReader has no account, advertising, analytics, or tracking SDK. Documents are parsed locally and are not uploaded to the developer. Read the full privacy policy for details.
Frequently asked questions
What is a PX file?
PX is the filename extension commonly used for PC-Axis tables. It is not a webpage or an exported CSV file; download the original PX document from the statistics provider before opening it.
Where are my documents stored?
PxReader opens documents from a location you select through Apple’s document interface. Source files and exports remain in Files, Finder, iCloud Drive, or another provider you choose.
Why can’t a file be opened?
The file may be incomplete, use an unsupported character encoding, or contain PC-Axis syntax that PxReader cannot read. Try downloading the original again. If the problem continues, see PxReader support.
Does PxReader connect to a statistical database?
PxReader opens PX documents already available to Files or Finder. It does not browse a PXWeb catalog or import a table directly from a web address.
