What is a 96 file

96 files mostly belong to WordPerfect. Your *.96 file may belong to different systems.

WordPerfect document: It stores data in the WordPerfect 6.x format used for word processing. Such files need WordPerfect Office or another compatible program.

Old Microsoft Word file: This version uses the Microsoft Compound File format, common in earlier versions of Word. Opening it might require legacy software or conversion tools.

PlayStation executable: In some cases the file is in ELF format (ELF stands for Executable and Linkable Format) and runs as a PlayStation executable. Emulators like PCSX2 can handle these files.

FilExt.com note: Because the extension does not reveal the internal structure, checking the file header with a hex editor or file analyzer is useful to decide the correct application.
Files with the extension 96 are often also jpg images or pdf documents, but zip compressed archives or medical images such as DICOM are also common. Use the Online 96 File Viewer on this page to find out the file format being used, and to view your 96 file.
