What is an ILX file?

ILX files mostly belong to ILX Editor. Your *.ilx file may be one of several specialized internal data types. Its purpose depends on the source that created it.
Some files are Interlex vocabulary files. They store language terms and are used in linguistic projects. More details can be found at SIL website.
Others serve as game data files. They are used by titles like Lineage II and even hold image data for games such as Age of Empires II. Tools like ILX Editor are often needed to access these files.
A third group includes files that contain 3D microscope images or multispectral images. This format is used in scientific imaging and is often handled by specialized viewers; see the Lynxeye website for more information.
