What is a .ICE file?
An ICE file is a type of computer file that is used to store one or more files in a compressed format. This means that the files inside an ICE file take up less space on your computer than they would if they were stored separately. The ICE file format is created by a program called ICEOWS, which used to be known as ArjFolder. This program takes files and squishes them together into one smaller file, which is the ICE file. This is really useful for making files smaller to save space on your computer or to make them easier to send to other people over the internet.
ICE files are often used to compress text files, but they can actually be used to compress any type of file. Once the files are compressed into an ICE file, you will need a special program to open them and get to the files inside.
There are a couple of programs that can open ICE files: 1. **ICEOWS**: This is the program that originally creates ICE files. It can also open them, allowing you to access the compressed files inside. ICEOWS has tools to compress and decompress files, making it easy to manage your compressed archives.
2. **ESTsoft ALZip**: This is another program that can open ICE files. ALZip is a file compression program that supports many different types of compressed file formats, including ICE files. With ALZip, you can open an ICE file, see what's inside, and extract the files if you need to use them outside of the compressed archive.
To open an ICE file, you would typically right-click on the file and choose the program you want to use to open it, either ICEOWS or ALZip. Once the program is open, you can view the contents of the ICE file and extract the files if necessary. This makes it easy to manage your compressed files and access the data inside them.

Our goal is to help people find the most up-to-date information about file extensions for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. We researched over 10,000 file extensions and their respective programs that open those files.
