.AI File Extension

Drawing created with Adobe Illustrator, a vector graphics editing program; composed of paths connected by points, rather than bitmap image data; commonly used for logos and print media.

Since Illustrator image files are saved in a vector format, they can be enlarged without losing any image quality. Some third-party programs can open AI files, but they may rasterize the image, meaning the vector data will be converted to a bitmap format.

Game file used by Battlefield 2, a modern warfare first-person shooter; saves the properties and instructions for how the computer and units move and act during a game; saved in a plain text format and sometimes modified to tweak gameplay settings.
