The SWI file extension is associated with the SWiSH Project File format. This type of file contains project data that is created using the SWiSH Max multimedia software. Developed by SWiSHzone.com Pty Ltd., SWiSH Max is a digital authoring software tool used for creating web animations, vector images, presentations, and other kinds of vector-based visual content.
Technical Details
A SWI file is a binary file that contains a collection of multimedia resources like Flash movie (or vector drawing) templates, audio clips, and video clips. In addition, such files store sound effects, background images, different multimedia elements that make up a user’s project, and animation settings that are made utilizing the SWiSH Max. All these resources stored in a SWI file are packed in a proprietary binary format. To open and export the resources stored in these files, a user must have a version of SWiSH Max.
Similar Types of File Extensions
Other file extensions associated with the same software include .BMX, .ART, WEC, and .GRV. When exported, a SWI file may also become an Adobe Flash SWF file (or Shockwave Flash movie) represented by the extension .SWF.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SWI) 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 .SWI 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 .SWI 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 .SWI 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 .SWI extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SWI file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SWI 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 .SWI file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SWI file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SWI file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
