Temporary storage during a workflow that exclusively uses ACDSee.

Less Ideal For

Sharing images with others who don't use ACDSee.
Web use or digital distribution.
Long-term archiving without a plan to convert.
Use with most image editing or viewing applications outside of ACDSee.

Common Use Cases

Storing images within the ACDSee software suite.
Archiving images with minimal quality loss.
Intermediate file format during editing in ACDSee.
Occasional use when a user specifically exports to this format from ACDSee.

How to Open It

The primary method is to open the .112 file directly within ACDSee software.
If ACDSee is not installed, use a file conversion tool or online converter that supports the .112 format.
Some advanced image editors or viewers might offer ACDSee format support, but this is uncommon.

What is a .112 file?

The .112 file extension is primarily associated with ACDSee, a popular image viewing and editing software. These files are essentially proprietary image files created and used by ACDSee. They typically store uncompressed or losslessly compressed image data, making them suitable for preserving image quality during editing or storage within the ACDSee ecosystem. While they can be opened directly by ACDSee, external conversion is often necessary for use in other applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ACDM file?▼

An ACDM file is a proprietary image format used by ACD Systems' software, primarily ACDSee, for storing image data.

Can I open .112 files on any computer?▼

Directly, you can only open .112 files using ACDSee software. For other applications, you typically need to convert the file to a common format like JPG or PNG.

Is .112 a compressed format?▼

The .112 format can store images uncompressed or using lossless compression, meaning no image quality is lost.

Technical Details

ACDM (ACDSee Image File) format is a raster image format. It can store uncompressed or losslessly compressed pixel data. The file structure is specific to ACD Systems and is not publicly documented, making it less interoperable with other software.

Did You Know?

The .112 extension is a legacy format tied to the early development of ACDSee.

While ACDSee is a powerful image manager, its proprietary formats are less common in mainstream digital workflows.

Security Information

As a proprietary image format, .112 files are generally considered safe. However, always ensure you are obtaining files from trusted sources, as with any file type, to avoid potential malware disguised as image files.
