What is a BI file

BI files mostly belong to MySword.

BI files are Bible study modules that store biblical text and study data within a ZIP archive. They are not simple text files; instead, they bundle the structured content needed for Bible study applications.
This format is primarily used by MySword Bible Study Software, which reads the compressed Bible data to display the scriptures, commentaries, and related resources. Similar files are also produced by projects like The Sword Project. For more details on how the file is used, you may visit MySword Bible Study Software webpage.

Format: ZIP compressed archive
Purpose: Store and deliver Bible eBook content
Usage: Open with MySword Bible Study Software or similar Bible study tools

FilExt.com note: If you need to inspect the file content, you can extract it with any standard ZIP tool, but be cautious to avoid altering its structure.

How to open a BI file

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