What is XIMG file?
The XIMG file has been categorized as Misc Files. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. GEM Raster Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The Ventura Publisher application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Corel Corporation.

How to open XIMG file?
The main problem with GEM Raster Format is that the XIMG file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open XIMG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XIMG 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 Ventura Publisher
The first step is to check if the computer has the Ventura Publisher program installed. To do this, enter the name Ventura Publisher 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 XIMG with Ventura Publisher. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XIMG files.
Programs to open XIMG file
Remember to download programs supporting XIMG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ventura Publisher with XIMG files
If, despite the installed application, the XIMG file does not start in the Ventura Publisher 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. 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Ventura Publisher application as the default for handling the XIMG file.
Step 3. Update Ventura Publisher to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Ventura Publisher program, it is possible that GEM Raster Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XIMG 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to XIMG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XIMG file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected XIMG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XIMG files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XIMG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file XIMG 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 XIMG file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XIMG file again. 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.
