How to open GIFENX file?
The most common problem when using Egis Encrypted GIF is that a specific GIFENX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that GIFENX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GIFENX 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 Egis Free Reader

Programs to open GIFENX file
Remember to download programs supporting GIFENX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Egis Free Reader with GIFENX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GIFENX file to open in the Egis Free Reader application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GIFENX file with the Egis Free Reader program.
Step 3. Update Egis Free Reader to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Egis Free Reader program with the Egis Encrypted GIF file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Egis Technology Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GIFENX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to GIFENX 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GIFENX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GIFENX 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 GIFENX 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GIFENX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Egis Technology Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GIFENX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the GIFENX file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the GIFENX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GIFENX to close. However, some background programs may block the GIFENX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
