WS2 file format:

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. In the following you will find our evaluation of the WS2 files:

WS2 is seldom used as a file extension and includes many different file formats. The following file formats are most commonly found in WS2 files:
