Open IVF File

A file with the IVF file extension might be a Video file or an IconForge Project file, with each type having its unique ways of use and possible formats. In this article, we shall discuss them each in detail.

IVF: An Indexed Image Format

The IVF file extension is an integral part of the multimedia system, standing for Indeo Video Format. Originally developed by Intel, it comes in handy for storing video data in AVI format. To open this type of file, several media players may be used, some of which include the Movie Player Pro SDK ActiveX or widely accessible VLC Media Player. Failing which, you may also use a video converter like Any Video Converter to transform it into a more accessible format.

IVF: An IconForge Project File

In a contrasting setting, the IVF file here instead stands for IconForge Project, which is a tool for creating icons, cursors, and even animated cursors. The IVF files created are subsequently used in different applications and web pages.

As this type of file is project-based, you would require the original software, IconForge, to open it. On the other hand, if creating Icons or Cursors is what you are attempting to do, Greenfish Icon Editor Pro and RealWorld Cursor Editor would be excellent alternatives to work with.

IVF File Important Information

No matter the type of IVF file, it's important to never rename the file extension on a file. Changing the file extension could corrupt the file and make it unusable.

Also, when working with IVF files, it is crucial to always save an original copy before beginning. That way, if anything goes wrong, you still have the original file to return to.
