Convert Citrix configuration files (ICA) online for free
The converter easily converts your ICA configuration files to various formats - free and online. No Citrix Workspace or other Settings software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Citrix Configuration File" file type, you need software like Citrix Workspace or a similar tool.
The .ICA file is primarily an Independent Computing Architecture configuration file used by Citrix Workspace to initialize connections to virtual desktops and remote applications. In legacy enterprise environments, it can also function as an Image Object Content Architecture (IOCA) file, an IBM raster image format.
Both variants present significant real-world disadvantages. The Citrix .ICA format is highly proprietary and behaves as a temporary payload. It lacks native readability without a text editor and frequently self-deletes upon execution, making it useless for IT archiving or sharing persistent connection templates. Similarly, the IBM IOCA variant is an outdated mainframe image format. Modern web browsers and standard OS viewers cannot decode it, locking visual data behind specialized legacy software.
To bypass these limitations, convert the file to an accessible format. For IT auditing and archiving, convert your Citrix .ICA to .PDF/A to preserve connection parameters securely, or to TXT for manual editing. If dealing with IBM IOCA images, convert them to WebP for web deployment or PNG for lossless storage. Just drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our ICA converter.
