What is a 02 file?

02 files mostly belong to Adobe Acrobat Reader. PDF Segment Usage: An *.02 file is not a fixed file type. It is a file that usually holds a fragment of a larger file. In many cases, some files contain the second page of a PDF document. This means that the original PDF has been divided and the .02 file is one piece that needs to be combined with other parts for complete content.
Other Observed Uses:
  • ZIP Containers: Some *.02 files keep a compressed Office Open XML document. Open these with Microsoft Word (Microsoft Word).
  • MP4 Fragments: A few are fragments of an MP4 video. Media players like VLC can play these fragments (VLC media player).
  • RAR Archives: There are cases where the file is a segment of a compressed archive (RAR) used by WinRAR (WinRAR).
  • Microsoft Compound Files: Some contain parts of a Word document stored in the Microsoft Compound format.
  • Image Portions: A few *.02 files include segments of JPEG or PNG images that need to be viewed with an image viewer.
  • Executable or Backup Segments: Rare examples include executable code for PlayStation 2 (ELF) or parts of encrypted backup archives from systems like Sophos UTM Firewall.
  • WordPerfect and Split Archives: There are also instances with fragments of WordPerfect documents and 7-Zip split archives.
  • FilExt.com tips: Each *.02 file acts as one segment in a series. To open and view it, you must first determine its true internal format – by checking the file header or using a file-analysis tool – and then use the corresponding program. Note that these files are often part of a multi-part set (for instance, with names like *.01, *.02, *.03) that together reassemble the original file.
    Files with the extension 02 are often also jpg images or pdf documents, but zip compressed archives or medical images such as DICOM are also common. Use the Online 02 File Viewer on this page to find out the file format being used, and to view your 02 file.
