What is a .IO file?
An .IO file is a special type of file that is used to save LEGO models that you create using a program called LEGO BrickLink Studio. This program is like a digital workspace where LEGO fans can design their own LEGO creations on a computer. When you make a LEGO model in this program, it saves your design as an .IO file. This file contains all the details of your LEGO model, such as the different LEGO pieces you used (like bricks, plates, bars, tiles, and even minifigures) and the steps needed to put the model together in real life.
To open an .IO file and see or work on the LEGO model it contains, you need to use the LEGO BrickLink Studio program. This is the same program you would have used to create the LEGO model in the first place. So, if you have an .IO file, you can open it in LEGO BrickLink Studio to view the LEGO design, make changes to it, or follow the instructions to build the model with your physical LEGO pieces. LEGO BrickLink Studio is designed specifically for these types of files and is the best tool for anyone who wants to explore or create custom LEGO designs digitally.
