.IPS Extension de fichier

An IPS file is an analytics data file created by an iOS device, such as an iPhone or iPad. It contains diagnostic and usage data recorded by an app or service. Developers and other advanced users can use IPS files to troubleshoot issues with apps or services.

You can open IPS files with Apple Files (iOS) or any text editor, to view the analytics data they contain. Additionally, some digital forensics programs, such as iMazing (Windows, Mac) and MobilEDIT Forensic Express (Windows), allow users to view IPS files contained within an iOS device's data and add them to digital forensics reports.

An IPS file is a video included in a PlayStation 2 video game. It contains a cutscene or other video played in the game. IPS files consist of .IPU video and sound encoded using the ADPCM codec.

Most notably, PlayStation 2 entries in the Megami Tensei role-playing game franchise include IPS files. However, the IPS format is not proprietary, so several developers included IPS videos in their PS2 games. For example, the game Wipeout Fusion also includes IPS files. (Some of these IPS files might be formatted slightly differently from each other.)

You can use IPUDecoder (multiplatform) to convert IPS files to the .M2V (MPEG-2 Video) format. Alternatively, you can use QuickBMS (Windows) and an associated IPS Demux script to convert an IPS file into an .IPU video file and a .WAV audio file. Note that the IPS Demux script might not work on all IPS files.
