About IPV files
The .IPV file is the proprietary project format used by ibisPaint X, a popular mobile digital art application. Unlike a standard image file, an .IPV acts as a complex container that stores every individual brush stroke as vector data, allowing the app to replay the drawing process as a "Speed Paint" video. It also holds multiple layers, blending modes, and edit history.
Because this format is strictly designed for the ibisPaint engine, it is not compatible with standard desktop software like Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, or web browsers. You cannot simply double-click to open it on a PC. Users run into issues when trying to move their work from a tablet to a desktop environment for final polishing. To use the content elsewhere, you must "export" the file from within the ibisPaint app itself: select PSD (Photoshop Document) to preserve layers for editing, PNG for high-quality transparent images, or MP4 to save the process video. Direct file conversion without the app is technically difficult due to the proprietary vector stroke data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your IPV file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert IPV file to PSD, PNG, JPG, PDF, GIF, BMP, TIFF, TIF, WEBP, ICO, CUR or PSB, you can use ibisPaint X or similar software from the "Digital Painting Project" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RAW, PNG, AI, NEF, PSB, DNG, SVG, GIF, EPS, JPG, ARW or PDF files to IPV, try ibisPaint X or another comparable tool in the "Digital Painting Project" category.
The IPV Converter Story
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 IPV converter.
