What is an AXT file?

AXT files mostly belong to Adobe Photoshop. The AXT file has more than one use. In many cases it stores preset data for Adobe Photoshop. This use makes the file a container for color swatches and extraction settings that can be imported into the program.
Some AXT files use a ZIP structure. In these instances the file can serve as an archive holding data such as a Casio audio recording or process archive information for tools like Axure RP and Blue Prism.
Use the following points to decide how to proceed with your file:

  • Adobe Photoshop Preset: Contains swatch data or color tables. Open this in Photoshop by importing it into the swatches or color assistant panel.
  • Adobe Photoshop Extract: Holds extracted color information for use in Photoshop assistant tools.
  • Compressed Archive: If the file is ZIP-based, try using a zip tool (like 7-Zip or WinRAR) to view its contents.

How can I open an AXT file?

You need a suitable software like Adobe Photoshop to open an AXT file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your AXT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a AXT file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
