Image Formats Opened by ArchiCAD

All Images (.bmp, .dib, .rle, .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe, .jfif, .gif, .tif, .tiff, .png, .ico, .sgi, psd, .pct, .pict, .pntg, .tga, .jp2, .qtif)

Various types of picture files can be opened as model pictures, but they will appear in their own separate windows, not the ArchiCAD main window.

Note: Beginning with ArchiCAD 15, QuickTime-based images are being phased out. However, you can still open these file types.

For details, see Phase-out of Images in QuickTime Formats in the Migration Guide for ArchiCAD 17.
