Opening IGI Files
The IGI file type is primarily associated with Indigo Renderer.
What is an IGI file?
IGI files mostly belong to Indigo Renderer by Glare. Files with IGI filename extension are image files containing bitmap graphics generated using Indigo Renderer. The IGI file uses high-dynamic-range imaging to save all data about an ongoing render of 3D graphics. When loading 3D graphics, Indigo Renderer uses IGI files to buffer, load, and or resume rendering (with the last render's end point as the starting point).
How do you open IGI files?
You need a suitable software like Indigo Renderer to open an IGI file. You need a suitable software like Indigo Renderer from Glare to open an IGI 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 IGI file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a IGI file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Can't Open Your .IGI File? Try These Steps
IGI files can come from different programs and aren't universally openable.
- Identify the Source: If received from a 3D artist, it is likely an Indigo Image. If from an older PC game, it may be Project I.G.I. data.
- Check the Header: Inspect the first bytes in a hex viewer.
- "PK" indicates a zipped archive.
- Readable XML suggests a text-based format.
- Proprietary magic bytes often indicate 3D graphics rendering data.
- Use the Original Software: The original program is usually required; try Glare's Indigo Renderer or an associated 3D modeling tool. If uncertain, ask the sender.
- Use this Webpage: Drag and drop the file into our viewer to detect the format, extract readable text/metadata, and preview when possible.

How to solve problems with IGI files
- Associate the IGI file extension with the correct application.
- Update your software that should actually open 3d graphics rendering data files. Because only the current version supports the latest IGI file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the Glare manufacturer website after an available Indigo Renderer update.
- To make sure that your IGI file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
