What is AIS file?
The file with the extension AIS is the Raster Image Files file type. It was designed by ACD Systems. In addition to this file, the Raster Image Files category includes 522 related files. ACDSee Image Sequence Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs. The ACDSee Photo Manager programs will also handle the file when the ACDSee program does not fulfill its role.
How to open AIS file?
The most common problem when using ACDSee Image Sequence Format is that a specific AIS is not associated with the program. This causes the file AIS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AIS 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 ACDSee
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ACDSee is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ACDSee into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support AIS files.
Programs to open AIS file
Remember to download programs supporting AIS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ACDSee with AIS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AIS file still does not use the ACDSee program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ACDSee application as the default for handling the AIS file.
Step 3. Update ACDSee to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ACDSee program with the ACDSee Image Sequence Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AIS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The AIS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to AIS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AIS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected AIS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AIS files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AIS files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AIS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the AIS file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AIS file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
