What is a GLKDATA file?

GLKDATA files mostly belong to Fallout Shelter. GLKDATA files are internal data containers used by different applications.
In one common case, they hold game save data, like in Fallout Shelter. This file stores progress and key game information so that the application can reload your game state.
They are also used as image storage files. For example, some GLKDATA files contain a JPG image file, while others hold PNG image data, which is used by programs such as Paint.NET and GIMP.
Consider these points:

If the file is from a game, it is best opened by the game itself.

If it contains image data, using an image editor like Paint.NET or GIMP might work.

FilExt.com note: Different applications might use the same extension differently, so check the context in which the file was created.

How to open GLKDATA files

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

GLKDATA file extension format:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. In the following you will find our evaluation of the GLKDATA files:

GLKDATA is not a common file extension and covers different formats for different programs. The two most popular formats are as follows:

• 60% of all GLKDATA files use the same file format, which have the signature * //. The content consists of binary data as well as text and words. The files are often between 250 bytes and 130 KB in size. It is a modern file type. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as Table and E5A0548B-EC4A-44B1-BE24-15BF8380602C. Some examples of file names are character.glkdata or FSPlayerSave.glkdata. Such files sometimes refer to save, variable, fscharacter, fsplayer, prefs, donators, fsbeast and lists.
• 20% of all GLKDATA files save the data in JPG file format. JPEG is the standard image format for lossy and compressed image data. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. The average file size is 83 KB with most files being between 800 bytes and 350 KB in size. The keywords JFIF, Exif and paint are typical for these files. An example of a file name is PIC1.glkdata or PIC4.glkdata.

All the rest of the GLKDATA files (20%) have different formats, such as PNG. If you want to find out which format your GLKDATA file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .glkdata file to analyze".
