What is an SHTM file?

SHTM files mostly belong to Web Browser. SHTM files are web page files that store HTML code. They are similar to .HTML or .HTM files and often include server-side includes that allow a web server to insert additional content before the page is rendered.
These files are used in several contexts:
  • DocuSign uses SHTM files to deliver HTML content for its online agreements (DocuSign).
  • Internet Explorer and Microsoft FrontPage utilized them to support pages with server-side includes (IE Help).
  • They are also generated by Microsoft Word for HTML email attachments.
    • FilExt.com notes: The files are plain text. You can open them in any web browser or text editor to view or edit the underlying HTML. Some SHTM files might include scripts or code fragments that, if misused, could be harmful. Always verify the source if a file comes as an unexpected email attachment.

    How to open an SHTM file

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