What are ICA files and how to open them

Are you having problems opening an ICA file or are you simply curious about its contents? We're here to explain the properties of these files and provide you with software that can open or handle your ICA files.

What is an ICA file?

ICA files have multiple uses, and Citrix Independent Computer Architecture is one of them. Read more about the other uses further down the page.

Citrix Independent Computer Architecture File

ICA stands for Independent Computing Architecture, and the Citrix application services use these files. They contain configuration information that allows users to store data linked between the clients and servers. This means that a user can use a software application by connecting to a remote server without having the software installed on their computer.

A user can open an ICA Citrix file without connecting to a remote server, but they will have to have the Citrix application installed on their system for the file to open correctly.
