What is an HPI file?

HPI files mostly belong to Jenkins by Jenkins Community. HPI filename extension is associated with files containing plugins that are used by Jenkins, an open source automation server used in various steps of software development. These plugins extend Jenkins' capabilities. Spring, a software development kit and game engine for creating real-time strategy games, stores HAPI compressed data in HPI files. Game archives used by Total Annihilation, a real-time strategy video game, also use HPI file name extension. These game archives may serve as containers for game assets such as images, short animations, sounds, maps, and textures. HPI filename extension is also associated with images saved in Hemera Technologies proprietary image format. The HPI image file begins with a 32-byte header similar to the header in PNG files. HPI filename extension was also used to save images processed with Art Studio, an image editing software used on Commodore 64 operating system.

How to open an HPI file

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

HPI file format:

The file format determines how the data is stored in 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. 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. Our examination of the HPI files comes to the following conclusion:

HPI is rarely used as a file extension and covers different formats for different programs. But the following two file formats are common:

30% of all HPI files are based on the zip format, i.e. an HPI file contains several compressed files. Such a ZIP file contains 5 to 40 files with names like \META-INF\MANIFEST.MF, \META-INF\maven\, \META-INF\maven\org.jenkins-ci.plugins\ and \WEB-INF\licenses.xml. Tip: If you rename the file ending to .zip and then double-click it, you see the included files and images. A typical file size is 1 MB. The keywords META-INF/MANIFEST.MF and META-INF/PK are typical for these files.
25% of all HPI files are associated with Hemera Photo-Object Image bitmap. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. A typical file size is 71 KB. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as JFIF, LEAD Technologies Inc. V1.01 and !!!!!!!!!!!!. These files are often associated with lslp.

The remaining 45% of all HPI files are different files with different signatures, frequently e.g. HP Logical Interchange Format disk image, Total Annihilation saved game, EXE and EAGLE. Tagged as noload, locked or mast. Just click the "Choose your .hpi file to view this image" button on this page to find out what your HPI file is.
