How To Open Aae File In Windows
- AAE files are used by iOS 8 and later and OS X 10.10 and later. If you import pictures from an iOS device to Windows, the JPEG images will only get transferred and not the AAE files, which will cause you to lose your edits. Also, AAE files can be deleted without erasing your pictures but any edits made to.
- AAE files are created by the Photos app in iOS 8 and later and OS X 10.10 and later. The files save edits made in the app to images so the original images are not affected. AAE files are stored in the same location as the images for which they contain the edits.
AAE file is a XML based format that created by Apple’s Photos application, which contains the information about the modifications made to the photo file. Similar to the other project files, such as DNG, which contains the original photos to remain unmodified in case users decide to revert photos to their original states. If Windows recognizes the filename extension, it opens the file in the program that is associated with that filename extension. When Windows does not recognize a filename extension, you receive the following message: Windows cannot open this file: example.aae To open this file, Windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it.
