What is a JNT file?

JNT files mostly belong to Windows Journal by Microsoft Corporation. JNT file extension is associated with data files used in the Windows Journal application developed by Microsoft.

  • Main Use: Microsoft Windows Journal is an application used for taking notes and making journal entries. JNT stands for Journal note. JNT files are used to store handwritten or computer-typed data, digital images, and flagged content, in a binary format. Windows Journal application was specially developed by Microsoft with Windows-driven tablet devices as the target. As a result, the hand-written text in the JNT files can be converted into searchable text using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) techniques.
  • Additional Information: JNT format is proprietary to Microsoft Windows operating system. JNT file type does not belong to the open-source category and hence cannot be accessed using any other software except Windows Journal and related software offered by Microsoft. Windows Journal comes with an in-built feature using which it is possible to export JNT journal documents into the more compatible TIFF image and MHT web archive formats. As JNT files are native to the Windows environment, they cannot be opened on Mac or Linux machines.
