π An .AIC foundation miscellaneously correlates with a vector graphic definition stored in accordance with Adobe Illustrator Cloud (AIC) principle. Normally, the mentioned file item includes vector data in a similar layout as an .AI tech specification. However, typically .AIC content is stored in the cloud and opened up via Adobeβs cloud-based document platform. The owners and users of Illustrator software foundation are capable of opening up, adjusting and refining the proper .AIC entry structure, and afterwards save it in the cloud environment to sync the modifications across the same artwork items accessed from other accessible PCs, devices and network stations. Primarily, the .AIC format logic was introduced to permit final community members to work on the identical AI artwork on different gadgets or devices, such as an iPad, Android smartphone or portable laptop and consecutively sync the adjustments made to maintain the common overall file composition in the internal way.
π In common, the .AIC data structure is revealed and uncovered as a bitmap image file standard packaged and encoded with Advanced Image Coding technical specification algorithm. Precisely, the .AIC make-up employs a designated compression schema that incorporates the H.264 and JPEG mechanics. On the internal composition and logic, the .AIC instances are pretty similar to the JPEG 2000 (.JP2) principle. However, according to the actual extension specification, the .AIC technology provides more solid and higher compression scalability, ratio and efficiency. It should be explicitly specified that .AIC abbreviation can stand for βApple Intermediate Codecβ term, a formerly widely spread video codec applied by custom Apple software suites and distributives. These relevant file branches are also recognizable by the .MOV format marker, tagged internally within the file naming principles and rules.
How to open an .AIC file?
π The .AIC content can be strictly opened up, monitored and reviewed by Adobe Illustrator package, perfectly adapted for processing these particular categories of data. Besides, if the target .AIC sample refers to the bitmap images encoded with Advanced Image Coding protocol, you are recommended to exploit AIC software solutions (bundled within AICSetup.exe) downloadable from the web-area on the external basis. The .AIC file container is recognized and readable by Windows and macOS infrastructures, and is not tracked and monitored within Linux shell and its parental forks and distributions. Besides, the .AIC instances can be smoothly converted to alternate shapes and forms due to full-scale compliance with other graphical file converters and solutions. For instance, Adobe Illustrator suite is entirely capable of transforming the .AIC entities into .PNG, .JPG, .TIF, .BMP, .PSD or other substantial constitutions.
