The extension replaces the original filename extension after encryption.
File type category:
Ransomware encrypted file
Date updated: October 12, 2026
The .bript file extension is associated with the BadEncriptor ransomware. This malware encrypts users' files and changes their original filename extensions to .bript.
A bript file is therefore an affected user file, not a separate document format or a normal part of an application. Its contents can be used again only after successful decryption.
The decryption keys do not appear to be stored, so if you close the ransomware window, there is no way to recover your files.
A bript file cannot normally be opened with the program that created the original file. It must first be decrypted or recovered from an unaffected backup.
A bript file cannot be meaningfully converted to another format while it remains encrypted. Decrypt the file first; after recovery, it can be opened or exported using the program associated with its original file type.
