About IWI
Infinity Ward's engine, from the first Call of Duty on, keeps textures as IWI files under images, packed in the games' IWD archives, which are ZIPs. Modders of Call of Duty 2, 4 and World at War take them out to make skins and maps.
An IWI is a short header, IWi and a version, its format, its size and where each mipmap starts, then the mipmaps from the smallest to the biggest, which ends the file. The format is DXT1, DXT3, DXT5, DXN, gray or plain pixels.
Filepeek reads the biggest mipmap and decodes it in your browser, and Export saves it as PNG or JPEG. Inside an IWD, each IWI opens from the archive's list.
