ImageForge Pro uses the IFO file extension for files that store the structure of a graphic, including its objects and layers. The file preserves editable data used while working on an ImageForge project.
IFO files belong to the ImageForge graphics software for Microsoft Windows. Because the format is tied to ImageForge Pro, other graphics applications may not recognize its object and layer data.
Open an IFO file in ImageForge Pro on Microsoft Windows. Use the program's Open command and select the file; the associated graphic object and layer data should then load for editing.
IFO files are intended for use as editable ImageForge Pro data, so they are not normally converted directly with a general-purpose file converter.
To create a more widely supported image, open the file in ImageForge Pro and export or save the graphic in an image format supported by that program. This produces a rendered image and may not preserve the original objects and layers.

ROSE Online is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game for Microsoft Windows. Its .ifo files store data required for the game's maps.
An .ifo file is part of the game's resource files rather than a document intended for direct reading. The ROSE Online client loads it as part of the data used to provide the corresponding in-game map.
ROSE Online on Microsoft Windows reads its .ifo files as part of the game's map resources. The files are not normally readable as standalone documents.
There is no standard conversion method for ROSE Online .ifo files. They contain game-specific map data and are intended to be used by the ROSE Online client.
Keep the file in its original format for use in the game. Editing or exporting it would require a tool specifically designed for ROSE Online map resources.
