This article describes the various file formats that use the AIR file extension, including how to open each type. <h2> What Is an AIR File </h2> A file with the .AIR file extension is most likely an AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) Installer Package file that stores web-based applications programmed using ActionScript or Apache Flex. They're usually ZIP-compressed and can be used across all desktop and mobile operating systems that support the Adobe AIR runtime, like Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.

Take great care when opening executable file formats like .AIR files that you've received via email or downloaded from websites you're not familiar with. See our List of Executable File Extensions for a listing of file extensions to avoid and why. To actually use the file on your computer, you need to install an environment for them to run in, which is done through Adobe AIR (which is now discontinued and managed by HARMAN).

AIR applications can be built using Adobe Animate (previously called Adobe Flash Professional). Depending on whether the application is meant for mobile or desktop use, Adobe AIR applications can be built using Adobe Flex, HTML, JavaScript, or Ajax. Building Adobe AIR Applications is a PDF file from Adobe that explains all of this in detail.

However, if you want something more advanced, or a program that can open AIR text files on a Mac,&nbsp;see our&nbsp;Best Free Text Editors&nbsp;list for our favorites. If you have an AIR file that's associated with Automated Image Registration files, you should be able to open it with the program suite by the same name. <h2> How to Convert an AIR File </h2> See Adobe's article on packing a desktop native installer to learn how you can make an EXE, DMG, DEB, or RPM installer file from an AIR application using AIR Developer Tool (ADT).

However, since they&#39;re just text files, they technically can be converted to other text-based formats like HTML and TXT, with most text editors. If any program can convert an Automated Image Registration AIR file, it&#39;s going to be the program mentioned above. <h2> Still Can&#39 t Open It </h2> Some file formats use a file extension that closely resembles a suffix used for other file formats.

For example, even though an ARI file looks an awful lot like an AIR file, the two aren&#39;t at all related. ARI files are ARRIRAW Image files captured by ARRI digital cameras, and are opened&nbsp;with an image viewer/editor like Adobe Photoshop. Others are archives compressed with algorithms like PPM or LZP.

Neither of these file formats work in the same way that AIR files do. This same mistake could be made with any file format that uses a file extension that&#39;s spelled like .AIR. If you&#39;re not dealing with an AIR file, be sure to research the true file extension so that you can find out which programs are able to open your specific file.
