How to open KDI file?

The most common problem when using KD Player Skin Image Format is that a specific KDI is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open KDI, 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 KDI 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 Apple Preview

The first step is to check if the computer has the Apple Preview program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Apple Preview in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support KDI files.

Step 2. Create association of Apple Preview with KDI files

If, despite the installed application, the KDI file does not start in the Apple Preview 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 KDI file with the Apple Preview program.

Step 3. Update Apple Preview to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Apple Preview program, it is possible that KD Player Skin Image Format requires a newer version of the program.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The KDI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KDI file. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KDI or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KDI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of KDI file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair KDI file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file KDI 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the KDI file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the KDI file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KDI file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
