The SAI file is an image file extension related to the Paint Tool SAI software. Developed by Systemax, it is primarily used to create, modify and edit digital images and supports layers, vector graphics, airbrush softening edges, canvas rotation, and other feature-rich functions. Compatible with Windows platforms, the file usually carries an SAI extension at the end of its filename.
SAI files are often used for drawing illustrations and comics. Their layers can be saved separately or combined into a single file that can subsequently be edited or modified with other design and photo editing applications such as Adobe Photoshop. However, unlike Photoshop's .PSD, the SAI file format does not support layering styles and adjustment layers.
File Extension Similarity
Other commonly used image file extensions that are compatible with the SAI format include .TIFF, .GIF, .PNG, .BMP, .JPG, and .JPEG. Many of which can also be edited using the same Paint Tool SAI software.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SAI) 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 .SAI 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 .SAI 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 .SAI 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 .SAI extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SAI file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SAI 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 .SAI file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SAI file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SAI file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
