What is File Extension?
A file extension is a suffix at the end of a file name that indicates the file’s format or type, usually consisting of three or four letters following a period. For example, in “document.txt,” the “.txt” part is the file extension.
File extensions help operating systems and software determine how to open and handle the file. Common extensions include “.txt” for plain text files, “.doc” or “.docx” for Microsoft Word documents, “.xls” or “.xlsx” for Excel spreadsheets, “.jpg” or “.jpeg” for JPEG images, “.png” for PNG images, “.pdf” for PDF files, “.mp3” for MP3 audio files, and “.mp4” for MP4 video files. Recognizing these extensions ensures that files are accessed and edited with the correct applications, aiding in efficient file management.
