what is a filename
extension?
A filename extension is a suffix added to the
end of a file name, typically consisting of a
period followed by a few characters, which
identifies the file's format or type. The
operating system and software use the
extension to determine how to open and
process the file.
purpose of file extensions
> Recognition of File Format: File extensions indicate the format of
a file, helping both users and applications identify what type of
content it contains (e.g., text, image, audio).

> User Understanding: Users can quickly assess the nature of a file
by looking at its extension, which aids in organizing and
managing files.

> Identification of Potential Risks: Recognizing file extensions helps


users to be cautious with certain file types that may carry risks,
such as executable files (.exe) which can potentially contain
malware.

> Preventing Misuse: Some systems may restrict the execution of


certain file types based on their extensions to prevent
unauthorized or harmful actions.
common types of file extensions:

AUDIO FILES PROGRAMMING FILES

TEXT FILES PRESENTATION FILES

IMAGE FILES COMPRESSED FILES


audio files
Audio files are digital files that store sound data, such as
music, speech, or any other audio recordings. They come
in various formats, each with its own characteristics
regarding file size, quality, and compression method.

— .mp3 – MPEG Audio Layer III (MP3 format)

— .wav – Waveform Audio File (WAV format)

— .flac – Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC format)


text files
Text files are simple digital files that contain plain text
without any complex formatting (such as bold, italics, or
images). They are typically used for storing data in a
human-readable form, making them one of the most basic
and widely compatible file types.

— .txt – Plain text file


— .doc / .docx – Microsoft Word document
— .pdf – Portable Document Format
— .rtf – Rich Text Format
— .tex – LaTeX source document
image files
Image files are digital files that store visual data, such as
photographs, illustrations, or graphics. These files are
created in various formats, each with specific features
regarding file size, image quality, color depth, and
compression methods.

— .jpg / .jpeg – JPEG image


—.png – Portable Network Graphics
— .gif – Graphics Interchange Format
— .bmp – Bitmap image
—.tiff – Tagged Image File Format
programming files
Programming files are files that contain source code,
scripts, or data intended to be executed or processed by a
computer. They are written in various programming
languages and used by software developers to create
applications, websites, and scripts.

— .js – JavaScript
— .py – Python file
—.java – Java source code

These files are typically created with presentation software
like Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Apple Keynote.

— .ppt / .pptx – Microsoft PowerPoint


— .odp – OpenDocument Presentation
compressed files
Compressed files are files that have been reduced in size
through data compression techniques, allowing them to
take up less storage space and be transferred more
quickly over the internet. Compression can be either lossy
(which reduces file size by removing some data) or lossless
(which reduces file size without losing any information).

— .zip – ZIP archive


—.rar – RAR archive
—.tar – Tape Archive
— .gz – Gzip compressed file
