What is an ICG file?

ICG files mostly belong to IrfanView.

ICG files are specialized graphic files that may serve one of several functions. They are not a single standard format but instead vary by the source application. In many cases, these files serve as an Inscriber Graphics File or Icogram Animation File used for storing animated or detailed graphic elements.

Other uses include:

Image Compression Group file: Stores images in a compressed format. This type may be seen as a Nero CD-ROM Image file and is associated with viewers like Nero PhotoSnap Viewer.
Image Capture Graph: Used to hold image capture data. It may be linked with applications such as IncrediMail and sometimes appears as a Nero BackItUp Image. More details are available at the IncrediMail website.

FilExt.com tip: These files are proprietary and usually require the original or compatible software to open and view them correctly. If an ICG file does not open as expected, try identifying its source and use the matching application.

How do you open ICG files?

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