What is an AXT file?

AXT files mostly belong to Adobe Photoshop. The AXT file has more than one use. In many cases it stores preset data for Adobe Photoshop. This use makes the file a container for color swatches and extraction settings that can be imported into the program.
Some AXT files use a ZIP structure. In these instances the file can serve as an archive holding data such as a Casio audio recording or process archive information for tools like Axure RP and Blue Prism.
Use the following points to decide how to proceed with your file:

• Adobe Photoshop Preset: Contains swatch data or color tables. Open this in Photoshop by importing it into the swatches or color assistant panel.
• Adobe Photoshop Extract: Holds extracted color information for use in Photoshop assistant tools.
• Compressed Archive: If the file is ZIP-based, try using a zip tool (like 7-Zip or WinRAR) to view its contents.

How can I open an AXT file?

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

AXT file format:

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Below you will find our evaluation of the AXT files:

The AXT file extension is rarely used and is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. However, the following two file formats are common:

• 30% of all AXT files start with the magic bytes 00 08 00 06 00, which are always the first bytes of this file format. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. AXT files can be up to 280 bytes in size, but are often around 76 bytes - 280 bytes. This file type is new and state-of-the-art. A usual file name is Untitled.axt.
• 10% of all AXT files start with the bytes 00 02 00 06 00, which are crucial for this file format. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. The files are 44 bytes to 50 bytes in size, with a median of 44 bytes. These files can be linked to color and range.

All other AXT files (60%) have no uniform format, such as ZenWorks snAPPshot ASCII Application Object Template, ZIP, XML and ref. Often described as title. You can get all the details of your AXT file by dragging it onto this page or by clicking the button "Choose your .axt file to analyze" above.
