What is IIMG file?
The file in the IIMG format belongs to the Graphic Files category. Graphic Files consists of 524 similar files. Interleaf Image Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is XnView. This was created by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet.
How to open IIMG file?
An often recurring problem with Interleaf Image Format is that IIMG is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that IIMG 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 IIMG 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 IIMG with XnView. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open IIMG files.
Programs to open IIMG file
Remember to download programs supporting IIMG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with IIMG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IIMG 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the IIMG file with the XnView program.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XnView program, it is possible that Interleaf Image Format requires a newer version of the program.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 IIMG 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the IIMG file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IIMG file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected IIMG 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 IIMG 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IIMG files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IIMG 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the IIMG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the IIMG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IIMG file again. However, some background programs may block the IIMG file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
