What is an EIP file?

EIP files mostly belong to Capture One by Capture One. EIP is the filename extension of Enhanced Image Package files created by Capture One image editing software. An Enhanced Image Package is actually a ZIP archive used to transfer RAW images between Capture One installations on different computers. The EIP file serves as a single container that stores the RAW image, settings, LCC profiles, and custom ICC profiles used in an editing session. Capture One uses EIP format for import and capture operations. The RAW image in the EIP file is stored in the camera's manufacturer's RAW image format. To pack the image and other information in an editing session into an EIP file, open the "File" menu in Capture One and select "Pack as EIP". The "Unpack EIP" option in the same menu can be used to unpack an Enhanced Image Package (EIP file).

EIP file format details:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Our evaluation of the EIP files is as follows:

EIP is not a common file extension and is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. However, the following two file formats are common:

• 60% of all EIP files use ZIP compression, multiple files are compressed and combined into one EIP file. The number of files included is on average 15 and ranges from 12 to 17. Common included file names are manifest.xml, manifest1.xml and \CaptureOne\. You can see the included files and images by renaming the file extension to .zip and then double-clicking it. The files are on average 54 MB in size and range from 32 MB to 150 MB. The following keywords are characteristic: 0.IIQ and IIIICwaR. A common filename is IQ4_150MP-Nyhavn-Day.eip. These files can be linked to shot and nyhavn, and often contain personal information.
• 9% of all EIP files start with the bytes 00000 crucial for this file format. If you open these files in a text editor, you can view and read the content yourself. Most of these files are 900 bytes to 3 KB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. 000001, 000002 and 000003.

The remaining 31% of all EIP files are different files with different signatures. These files are often connected to esask. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your EIP file!
