File extension .HPI

Hemera Photo Image Format | Hemera | Raster Image Files |
The HPI file extension is associated with the Hemera Photo Objects Image File, a proprietary file format developed by Hemera Technologies. It is used primarily to store images of objects such as clip art, graphics, logos, props and text symbols. The.hpi file allows users to combine images into a single file for easy storage and manipulation.
Technical Details
The HPI file contains a master image or illustration and an array of objects, each of which can be moved, modified or deleted individually. The.hpi file is made up of three main components: the master image, the object header and the object data. The object header contains detailed information about the object, such as its height, width and color depth while the object data contains color information for each pixel composing the object. Unlike other image formats such as .JPG, .PNG, .GIF, HPI files remain editable.
Similar File Extensions
The HPI file shares similar traits with the .PCT and .HPG file extensions. All three are typically used to store vector and bitmap images, allowing greater flexibility when creating graphics than conventional images such as JPGs and PNGs.
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 .HPI) 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 .HPI 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 .HPI 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 .HPI 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 .HPI extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .HPI file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .HPI 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 .HPI file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .HPI file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .HPI file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
