What is an IML file?
An .IML file is most commonly an IntelliJ IDEA Module file created by JetBrains. Developers use IntelliJ IDEA and other JetBrains software to write code. The .IML file stores configuration data for a specific project module. It tracks folder paths, dependencies, and settings. Because it uses the standard XML format, it stores data as plain text.
How to open IML files?
Normally, you open .IML files automatically when you load a software project in IntelliJ IDEA or Android Studio. You can also open them manually using code editors like Visual Studio Code or Notepad++.
If you do not have developer tools installed, viewer.online/iml analyzes .IML files to identify their exact format and creator software. It shows which programs can open the file and usually previews it directly in your browser.
Alternative IML file formats
Because .IML has multiple possible meanings, your file might not be a developer module. It can also be an IncrediMail email message log, an ACT! internet mail message, an HP Server Integrated Management Log, or a temperature data file for Linkam microscope software. If you are unsure what your file contains, we recommend viewer.online/iml to identify the actual format of the user's file.
Converting IML files
If you need to change your file into another format for a specific program, we recommend file conversion to sensible target formats on convert.guru. For example, you can easily convert an .IML module file into a standard .XML or .TXT document.
Summary
Because .IML files use the known XML format, viewer.online/iml can safely open and display them online, eliminating compatibility problems completely.
