The ACORN file extension refers to a raster image file created by Acorn Image. Acorn Image is an image editing software for the Mac operating system. The ACORN format was developed by Flying Meat to support raster graphics, multiple layers, and vector objects. ACORN files belong to the Raster Image Files category, like 522 other filename extensions in our database.
The most popular software supporting ACORN files is Acorn. ACORN files store drawings in the Acorn image file format. They can export to formats like JPG, PNG, and GIF. The .acorn extension relates to the Acorn picture editor.
To open, use Acorn for .acorn drawing files. To convert, Acorn exports .acorn files to JPG, PNG, GIF and other formats. However, exporting can flatten the image into one layer, limiting editing.
Primarily, Acorn saves images as .acorn to preserve layers for later editing. Acorn allows saving in other formats, but flattens layers. To open a .acorn file, open Acorn and select File – Open. Then select the .acorn file.
