The BIE file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BIE files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BIE file on each system platform.
What is BIE file?
The BIE file has been categorized as Graphic Files. In addition to this file, the Graphic Files category includes 524 related files. JBIG Image is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is XnView. This was created by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet.
How to open BIE file?
The main problem with JBIG Image is that the BIE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BIE 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 BIE 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
In this case, you should first verify that the XnView application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name XnView into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BIE with XnView. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BIE files.
Programs to open BIE file
Remember to download programs supporting BIE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with BIE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BIE file still does not use the XnView program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BIE file with the XnView application.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XnView program, it is possible that JBIG Image requires a newer version of the program. 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 BIE file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The BIE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BIE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 BIE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BIE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BIE files changes over time. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BIE 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 indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BIE files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the BIE file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BIE to close. 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.
