UNIX FaceSaver Bitmap Image Format | N/A | Raster Image Files |
The .FACE file extension is the acronym for FACE Graphic File. It is used in two distinct formats that can be read by different programs. The first type of .FACE file is a bitmap graphics file and it is known as CompuPic Face Image file. It stores images in a compressed form and can be created and utilized with CompuPic. The images may include color, grayscale or line art graphics.
Protection
The second type of .FACE file is used for data security purposes. This file format is mostly used by NavBox software that stores data protection keys in the form of files. Both the image and security formats are targeted to Microsoft Windows, Apple MacOS X operating systems and various Linux distributions. Although not widely used, the .FACE files may still be found today in some cases.
Similar Extensions
The .FACE file format is often confused with other similar file types such as .FCT, .TPS, .GIN, .ART and several others.
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 .FACE) 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 .FACE 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 .FACE 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 .FACE 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 .FACE extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FACE file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FACE 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 .FACE file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FACE file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FACE file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
