What is a BSI file?

BSI files mostly belong to BattleScribe.

Your BSI file likely belongs to one of two specific categories. The primary use is as a BattleScribe index file, which is stored as a compressed (ZIP) archive. This file holds the index data for roster information used in wargaming and similar applications. You should open it using the BattleScribe application. For more details, visit the BattleScribe website.

A smaller group of BSI files follow the JetDB format. These are database files associated with Microsoft Access. They are sometimes referenced as a BSI Jet Database or even as a file used in blind SQL injection testing.

Identify your file type based on its origin:

• If it is a BattleScribe index, use BattleScribe and a ZIP tool to view its structured contents.
• If it is a JetDB file, open it with Microsoft Access or another compatible database utility.

How to open a BSI file

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

BSI file format:

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the BSI files is as follows:

BSI is not that commonly used as a file extension. This file type includes different formats for different programs. But the following two file formats are common:

• 60% of all BSI files use the ZIP algorithm, the BSI file contains a number of compressed files. Most often they are one compressed file. File names inside are index.xml. If you'd like to see the images and files included, just rename the file extension to .zip and double-click. BSI files are between 500 bytes and 2 KB in size. The keywords index.xml are typical for these files. The file name index.bsi is typical for these files.
• 10% of all BSI files store the data in the JetDB file format. The JetDB is a database format often used by Microsoft Access and Visual Basic programs. JET is short for Joint Engine Technology. The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. Most of these files are 100 KB to 290 KB in size. The following keywords are characteristic: Standard Jet DB. A common filename is 20180601.bsi.

The remaining 30% of all BSI files are different files with different signatures. Often described as figure. If you want to find out what your BSI file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
