The AIA (Adobe Illustrator Action File) is a file type associated with Adobe's Illustrator vector graphics creation and manipulation software. It is an executable script saved in ASCII text format, which are used to automate repetitive tasks within Illustrator such as transforming object, applying gradients, changing colors, and creating outputs.
AIA files enable designers to store a series of commands for manual execution at a later time. This feature provides greater control over vector elements, saves time and effort when doing routine tasks, enhances productivity, and helps build efficient workflows. A single AIA file can contain commands from the application menus as well as additional tools and scripts outside of those available in the Illustrator environment.
Storing AIA Files
AIA files can be stored in the Illustrator Actions Palette or the Adobe Bridge application, although they can be stored in any folder on the computer for easy access. The application requires the files to be located in specific folders in order for it to recognize them. Once stored in the right place, they can be edited or organized by dragging and dropping them within the Actions Palette.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .AIA) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .AIA extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .AIA file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .AIA extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .AIA extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .AIA file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .AIA file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .AIA file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .AIA file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .AIA file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
