The AI file extension is associated with the powerful graphic Adobe Illustrator application, which is used for creating vector graphics. Vector images are composed of shapes, paths, and objects that are calculated and renderer by the AIP plug-in; this allows users to design logos, illustrations, cartoons, and other graphics using powerful features such as shading and gradients.
The AI files are often exported in other formats, including .SVG, .EPS, and .PDF, to be used for a number of purposes such as web design and printing. Aside from that, these documents can be opened with many other applications as well, including various alternatives to Adobe Illustrator. These include Inkscape, CorelDraw, Apple's Pages application, and Adobe Fireworks.
File Compatibility
The compatibility of files created with the AIP plug-in is its strength since you can open it in virtually any application that supports vector graphics. Additionally, all major Operating Systems (OS) like Windows and macOS can be used to view and manipulate these documents.
Additional File Formats
Aside from the regular types of AI, the Adobe Illustrator application supports a few additional file formats created specifically for other types of vectors. This includes PDF/X, which is optimized for print workflows; .FXG, a type of XML-based format; and EPS7, an older version of the EPS with extended features.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .AIP) 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 .AIP 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 .AIP 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 .AIP 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 .AIP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .AIP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .AIP 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 .AIP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .AIP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .AIP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
