How to open I18 file?

The most common problem when using Pixel Power Collage Image Format is that a specific I18 is not associated with the program. This causes the file I18 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the I18 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 I18 with XnView. Below you will find a list of applications that support I18 files.

Programs to open I18 file

Remember to download programs supporting I18 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of XnView with I18 files

If, despite the installed application, the I18 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 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 I18 file with the XnView program.

Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version

If, however, after binding XnView with Pixel Power Collage Image Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the I18 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The I18 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the I18 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file I18 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected I18 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of I18 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair I18 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted I18 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move I18 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 I18 file again. However, some background programs may block the I18 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
