What is an AIS file?

AIS files mostly belong to MIT App Inventor. AIS files are not a single file type; they represent different data containers based on context.
  • App Inventor Projects: some of AIS files are used for Kodular App Inventor Source Code. They are essentially ZIP archives that store project files. Use MIT App Inventor to import, edit, or view these projects.
  • Game Save Data: some of AIS files are save game files for Alien: Isolation. These files hold the game state and are meant to be accessed by the game.
  • Database Files: some use the JetDB format to hold AutoCAD Jet Database information. They can be opened with database tools such as Microsoft Access (Access) or AutoCAD-linked utilities.
  • Audio/Project Files: some of AIS files are formatted in XML to store Ableton Live Project data. They are also sometimes used for score files with applications like Avid Sibelius or Avid Pro Tools, and are best handled by Ableton Live (Ableton).

    • FilExt.com note: If you have an AIS file, check its header or try opening it with the program related to its expected use. This determination is key since the same extension can mean a source project, a saved game, a database, or an audio project file.

    How to open AIS files

    You need a suitable software like MIT App Inventor to open an AIS 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 AIS file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a AIS file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
