What is a CUSTOM file

CUSTOM files mostly belong to pg_dump/pg_restore. A CUSTOM file is a PostgreSQL dump file created by the pg_dump utility. It stores a backup of a PostgreSQL database in a custom binary format rather than plain text. This format allows you to selectively restore parts of the database using pg_restore.
Key details provided by FilExt.com include:

Format: Binary archive that can include compression.

Usage: Database backup, migration, and selective object recovery.

Restoration: Requires PostgreSQL tools and version compatibility.

How to open a CUSTOM file

You need a suitable software like pg_dump/pg_restore to open a CUSTOM 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 CUSTOM file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a CUSTOM file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
