What is a GTHR file?

GTHR files mostly belong to Microsoft Windows. A .GTHR file is a component of the Windows Thumbnail Cache. These files, using the UTF-16 (LE) encoding, store index data for the Windows Search Indexer, allowing for rapid searching of files. They are primarily used by the operating system for optimizing search performance and are not meant to be directly interacted with by users. The data within these files contributes to the efficient functioning of file searches within Windows.

How to open a GTHR file

You need a suitable software like Microsoft Windows to open a GTHR 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 GTHR file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a GTHR file directly in the browser:.
