What is G11 file?
The file with the extension G11 is the Raster Image Files file type. Raster Image Files consists of 522 similar files. Atari Graphics 11 Picture Image Format 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.

How to open G11 file?
The main problem with Atari Graphics 11 Picture Image Format is that the G11 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open G11, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the G11 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 RECOIL
The first step is to check if the computer has the RECOIL program installed. To do this, enter the name RECOIL into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support G11 files.
Programs to open G11 file
Remember to download programs supporting G11 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RECOIL with G11 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the G11 file still does not use the RECOIL program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the G11 file with the RECOIL program.
Step 3. Update RECOIL to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RECOIL program, it is possible that Atari Graphics 11 Picture Image Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the G11 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 G11 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to G11 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the G11 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover G11 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the G11 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 G11 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file G11 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move G11 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file G11 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
