"Every File Extension in the World"

This is a list of file extension names or suffixes that indicate the format or usage of a file and a brief description of that file extension. In general, if you have the program that uses that file extension, that program can be used to open or otherwise use the file.

Many people have contributed to this list and we thank them! If you know of file extensions that should be added to this list, please e-mail us and we'll add them.
