What is an AIT file?

AIT files mostly belong to Illustrator by Adobe. AIT is the extension for the Adobe Illustrator Template file format. It is used by Adobe Illustrator, which is a vector graphics designing program. It is a drawing template created by Illustrator. This template contains the default content, settings, and layout for a drawing that can be used to create multiple Illustrator drawing files that have the same layout, color mode, swatch, styles and formatting. Once designed, the template can be saved in the Templates folder of the installation directory and can be accessed for applying to other documents. Templates are specially useful in cases where the user has a pre-formatted design that has to be used across multiple projects, such as brochures, business cards, web pages and mobile application screens. Once opened in Illustrator, the file is saved as a new AI file by default. This prevent changes being saved to the original template (i.e. to the AIT file). To save a change to the template, the user has to select 'Save As', and then overwrite the template file.

How do you open AIT files?

You need a suitable software like Illustrator from Adobe to open an AIT 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 AIT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a AIT file directly in the browser:.

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used.

97% of all AIT files are based on the well-known PDF file format.
