How to open RRI file?

The most common problem when using RealWorld Image is that a specific RRI is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open RRI, 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 RRI 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 RealWorld Icon Editor

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that RealWorld Icon Editor is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing RealWorld Icon Editor into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file RRI.

Programs to open RRI file

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

Step 2. Create association of RealWorld Icon Editor with RRI files

If, despite the installed application, the RRI file does not start in the RealWorld Icon Editor 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RRI file with the RealWorld Icon Editor application.

Step 3. Update RealWorld Icon Editor to the latest version

If, however, after binding RealWorld Icon Editor with RealWorld Image there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the RealWorld Graphics page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RRI 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RRI file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RRI file. However, remember that not every infected RRI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RRI file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RRI file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting RealWorld Graphics, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file RRI 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the RRI file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
