What is a AI file?
AI files are vector graphics files created using Adobe Illustrator. The format was developed by Adobe Systems and is primarily used for creating scalable illustrations, logos, and design elements. Unlike raster images, AI files store paths and shapes based on mathematical equations, which allows them to be resized without losing quality.
This makes AI a preferred choice for professional graphic designers and print studios. The format is often used in combination with other Adobe tools and can be exported to formats like PDF, EPS, or SVG.
How to open AI files
AI files are best opened using Adobe Illustrator, but many other programs can handle them to varying degrees — including CorelDRAW, Affinity Designer, and some versions of Inkscape. Some PDF readers may open AI files because they often contain embedded PDF content.
If you just need to view or convert an AI file, online tools like AnyConv can also help.

What is a DXF file?
DXF stands for Drawing Exchange Format and was created by Autodesk to facilitate data interoperability between AutoCAD and other software. Unlike DWG, DXF is an open format, often used to exchange design data between different CAD tools.
DXF files can store 2D and 3D data and are commonly used in CNC machining, laser cutting, and vector design. Their plain text structure makes them easier to interpret but can result in larger file sizes compared to binary formats.
How to open DXF files
DXF files can be opened with almost any CAD software, including AutoCAD, LibreCAD, SolidWorks, and CorelDRAW. Many vector editors and laser cutting tools also support DXF.
AnyConv makes it easy to convert DXF files to SVG, PDF, or other formats for broader compatibility.
