The KFX (Kofax Image File) file extension is a proprietary image format created by Kofax. It is a mainly used for storing page images captured from scanning devices, generally using their VRS (VRS-Advanced, Ascent-Capture and EMC Captiva AutoProfiler) products. KFX files offer features like image cropping and are extensively used in different industries, such as healthcare, banking, finance, and others.
Technical Specifications
The KFX file format is owned and distributed by Kofax and is used to store page images. The KFX files may contain various attributes like color depth, resolution, and page layout. The typical resolution range of a KFX file is from 90 to 600 dpi. Moreover, the bitmap of a KFX file can be 8 bits or 16 bits, allowing various color depths (1-, 4-, 8- and 24-bit). Depending on their purpose, the layout of KFX files can be single page or multi-page layout. The single- layered page for scanning can hold multiple variable definitions, such as card information or signatures.
Similar File Extensions
Other related image file formats include .PCD, .PIC, .ICA, .CIF, .TIF, .MDI, and .JPG. Additionally, other formats from the same family include the newer .XIF, and native scanning formats, such as .JP2, .DCX, .BMP, and .PDP.
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .KFX) 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 .KFX 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 .KFX 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 .KFX 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 .KFX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .KFX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .KFX 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 .KFX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .KFX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .KFX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
