This is a list of file formats organized by type, as can be found on computers. This is an alphabetical list of Filename extensions Sym A B C A file format is a particular way to encode information for storage in a Computer file. A computer is a Machine that manipulates data according to a list of instructions. Filename extensions are usually noted in parentheses if they differ from the format name or abbreviation. A filename extension is a suffix to the name of a Computer file applied to indicate the encoding convention ( File format) of its contents In theory, using the English alphabet (A–Z) and a three character extension, the number of combinations amounts to 17,576 (26³). If other acceptable characters are included, the maximum number of combinations is 195,112 (26+31)³. Unix-like systems don't have extensions, and Microsoft Windows NT, 95, 98, and Me don't have a three character limit on extensions for 32-bit or 64-bit applications on file systems other than pre-Windows 95/Windows NT 3. A Unix-like (sometimes shortened to *nix) Operating system is one that behaves in a manner similar to a Unix system while not necessarily conforming Microsoft Windows is a series of Software Operating systems and Graphical user interfaces produced by Microsoft. Windows NT is a family of Operating systems produced by Microsoft, the first version of which was released in July 1993 Windows 95 is a consumer-oriented Graphical user interface -based Operating system.

In Computing, a file system (often also written as filesystem) is a method for storing and organizing Computer files and the data they contain to make 5 versions of the FAT file system, so some file system types are given extensions longer than three characters.
