File Extension List

Our personal computer needs to know how to access specific files and determine what programs they are affiliated with. That is exactly what a file extension is for!

To find out which program to access a file with, your system first gathers the necessary data from the files extension. A files extension carries clues to the formatting of the file and what sort of information it contains. For example, many common file extensions include: .jpg for pictures, .rar for compressed files, and .mov for video. You may already be familiar with these general extensions but with the ever growing library of software and operating systems there are a lot more that you might have never seen.
