Can't open the 4BIT file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open 4BIT files as well as a list of programs that support 4BIT files.

The 4BIT file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the 4BIT files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the 4BIT file on each system platform.
What is 4BIT file?
The 4BIT file has been categorized as Graphic Files. Additionally, the Graphic Files category contains 524 of other files. GoDot Picture Image is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The XnView application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet.
How to open 4BIT file?
An often recurring problem with GoDot Picture Image is that 4BIT is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that 4BIT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 4BIT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install XnView
The first step is to check if the computer has the XnView program installed. To do this, enter the name XnView into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open 4BIT files.
Programs to open 4BIT file
Remember to download programs supporting 4BIT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with 4BIT files
If, despite the installed application, the 4BIT file does not start in the XnView application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the 4BIT file with the XnView program.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
If, however, after binding XnView with GoDot Picture Image there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 4BIT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The 4BIT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to 4BIT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our 4BIT file. However, remember that not every infected 4BIT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the 4BIT file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular 4BIT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted 4BIT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the 4BIT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the 4BIT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 4BIT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
