What is a AIP file?
An AIP file is a plug-in used by Adobe Illustrator, a drawing program used to create vector graphics. It contains an additional feature that can be added to Illustrator.
More Information
Artists and graphic designers use Adobe Illustrator to create logos, signs, digital art, and drawings. While Illustrator includes a wealth of design and drawing features, users can add additional features by installing Illustrator plug-ins. These plug-ins, which are developed by Illustrator users and third-party companies, are saved as AIP files.
For example, the companies Astute Graphics, Fontself, and Mai Tools all offer Illustrator plug-ins, distributed as AIP files. These plug-ins provide artists with additional effects, allow artists to convert sketched lettering into fonts, and help artists automatically crop images. Other Illustrator plug-ins provide other advanced features.
Some Illustrator plug-ins are free to download and install, while others must be purchased. Many plug-ins are available from Adobe's official website, on the Third-party plug-ins for Illustrator page.
How to open a AIP file
AIP files are not meant to be opened. To use your AIP file with Adobe Illustrator (Windows, Mac), place it in one of the following locations:
- Windows: C:/Program files/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator####/Plug-ins/Extensions
- Mac: Applications/Adobe Illustrator ####/Plug-ins
Then, the features your plug-in contains will appear in Illustrator.
