How to open TIFENX file?

An often recurring problem with Egis Encrypted TIFF Image Format is that TIFENX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open TIFENX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TIFENX 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

In this case, you should first verify that the Egis application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Egis 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 TIFENX with Egis. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TIFENX files.

Programs to open TIFENX file

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

Step 2. Create association of Egis with TIFENX files

If, despite the installed application, the TIFENX file does not start in the Egis application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 TIFENX file with the Egis program.

Step 3. Update Egis to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Egis program, it is possible that Egis Encrypted TIFF Image Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Egis Technology Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to TIFENX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TIFENX file. Sometimes virus-infected TIFENX 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 TIFENX 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TIFENX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TIFENX 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the TIFENX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the TIFENX 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 TIFENX to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
