What is a .IIQ file?

The .IIQ file extension represents a Phase One RAW Image file. This type of file is a proprietary camera RAW format developed by Phase One, a company known for its high-quality digital cameras. When a photo is taken with a Phase One camera, it is saved as an .IIQ file. This format stores the image data in a raw, unprocessed state, which means the file contains all the original details captured by the camera's sensor without any in-camera processing or compression.

Because the data in an .IIQ file is raw, it offers photographers greater flexibility to adjust and enhance the image using photo editing software, compared to standard JPEG files. This is particularly useful for professional photographers who need to fine-tune images to achieve the best possible results.

To open and work with .IIQ files, you can use several programs: 1. **File Viewer Plus** — Available for download from the Microsoft Store, this program can open and display .IIQ files. 2. **Phase One Capture One** — Specifically designed to work with Phase One cameras, this software offers powerful editing tools tailored for .IIQ files. 3. **Microsoft Photos** — Included with Windows operating systems, this app can open .IIQ files for basic viewing. 4. **Adobe Photoshop Elements** — A user-friendly photo editing software that supports .IIQ files, allowing for detailed adjustments and enhancements. 5. **Adobe Photoshop 2023** — A professional-grade photo editing tool that can handle .IIQ files, providing extensive editing capabilities. 6. **Corel PaintShop Pro 2023** — Another professional photo editing software that supports .IIQ files, offering a variety of editing tools and features. 7. **Web-based tools and File Helper** — Some online tools and services might also offer support for opening and viewing .IIQ files, but their capabilities may vary.
