All about BIFF Files
The BIFF file type is primarily associated with BioWare Infinity Engine.
What is a BIFF file?
BIFF files mostly belong to BioWare Infinity Engine by BioWare Corp. This is a simple archive format, used both to simplify organization of the files, as well as to group together entire areas. Some BIF files are grouped together because of common functionality; for instance, all the .DLG files are gathered together into a single BIF file in Planescape: Torment. Other BIF files, such as AR4800.BIF represent the entirety of an area's terrain (i.e. not its containers, actors, or items). The file is often indexed by .KEY file. The program WinBiff is a tool to extract data from these files. This file format is used by many different games. It usually comes with a .BIF file extension.
How do you open BIFF files?
You need a suitable software like BioWare Infinity Engine to open a BIFF file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your BIFF file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a BIFF file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
