What Is the File Extension .UFO?
Before being purchased by Corel in 2006, InterVideo and its subsidiary, Ulead, were part of an independent software company that produced graphics editing software. A number of files are associated with Ulead programs, including .ufo files.

Identification
-
A file with the .ufo file extension is most commonly known as a Ulead file object.

Features
-
A .ufo file is saved in many layers that can be individually edited without changing the entire image. Ufo files are raster images, meaning that they are composed of small dots called pixels rather than full lines or shapes.
Programs
-
Ufo are typically created by Ulead PhotoImpact, but the file can also be viewed with Ulead Video Studio and Ulead Moviefactory. Ulead Photo Explorer will also upon .ufo files, but if you have used more than one layer in the file, it may not display properly.
Systems
-
Ulead software and .ufo files can only be accessed on Windows-based computers.
Considerations
-
A less commonly used type of .ufo files contains an exact copy of a Super Nintendo game that can be played with a Super Nintendo emulator program. Also, .ufo files are used by an uncommon program known as Ellisys Visual USB, which uses the .ufo files to run diagnostic and troubleshooting tests on USB ports.
