Binary file extension list

File extensions used for binary file types or other compiled data formats.

A binary file is a computer file which may contain any type of data, encoded in binary form for computer storage and processing purposes. Binary file formats are usually designed to be both compact and efficient to parse, which is their main advantage over text-based formats. Binary file is a file which is using ASCII codes, which aren't displayed as letters, numbers, or punctuation.

Any executable file is a binary file. So are complex word processing codes, which often contain control codes to indicate underlining and other special formats to the program. Sound files, videos, formatted text documents (older document formats of Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.org) or e.g. graphics files are other types of binary files.

Due to general meaning of "binary file", this category contains only some file extensions generally classifiable to binary file types or other files, which do not fit into more specific file type category.
