What is an NTD file?

NTD files mostly belong to Notepad++. Your NTD file is a container for different types of data.
This extension is not bound to a single format. In one instance it may be a Notepad text document compressed with zlib, while in another it can store an image or specialized data. For example:
  • Notepad Text – When created by Notepad++, the file holds plain text data (sometimes confused with a Lotus Notes database file). Visit Notepad++ official site for details.
  • Xerox Scanner File – Some NTD files use the TIFF format to store scans from Xerox WorkCentre devices. They might also appear as Watermark Client TIFF files. See more at Xerox Support.
  • Bus Stop Display Format – A number of these files serve as display formats for transportation systems (as in NextBus or Omsi 2 add-ons). More information is available at this nextbus webpage.
  • Overhead Line Data – In engineering design, particularly with PLS-CADD, the file may hold overhead line data; it is sometimes identified as a TDN (Trac Data Now) file. Details can be found at Bentley.
  • NinjaTrader Database – Certain NTD files store historical market data used by the NinjaTrader platform. Visit NinjaTrader for reference.
  • PNG Image File – On occasion the file contains image data in PNG format and is even called a Windows NT Disk Image. Such files are best viewed with an image editor like Photoshop.
  • FilExt.com tip: This variation means that how you open and view an NTD file depends on the originating software. Inspecting the file header (for example, with a hex editor) can reveal its internal structure and guide you to the right program.

    How to open NTD files

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