What is a KNT file
These files keep information that helps the presenter recall important points without showing them on screen. They are designed specifically for use within Keynote, which interprets the proprietary structure of the file.

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

Programs that open and convert KNT files:
- Keynote
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. KNT files are often referred to as Keynote page layouts because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
- KeyNote (Note File) by Marek JedlinskiKeynote is a flexible, multi-featured tabbed notebook, based on Windows standard RichEdit control. It's always accessible with a single keypress, even if you work in another application. You can have many simple or tree-type notes; mixed freely; all contained within one KeyNote file.

KNT file format:
A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Below you will find our evaluation of the KNT files:
KNT is rarely used as a file extension and predominantly uses a uniform format. However, the following two file formats are common:
- 75% of all KNT files are associated with KeyNote note. These files are plain text, which means they can be viewed with any text editor such as Windows Editor, Nano for Linux, and TextEdit for macOS. KNT files can be up to 180 MB in size, but are often around 620 bytes - 20 MB. The file type is old but is used even today. The keywords # This is an automatically generated file. Do not edit, #!GFKNT 2.0, #^0110000000 and NN=New note are typical for these files. Such KNT files store data about notes, and frequently comprise personal data.
- 8% of all KNT files use ZIP compression, that is, a KNT file includes multiple compressed files. Primarily 9 to 14 files are included. You can see the included files and images by renaming the file extension to .zip and then double-clicking it. The files are 1 MB to 2 MB in size, with a median of 1 MB.
All other KNT files (17%) have no consistent format, such as KeyNote NF note. If you want to find out what your KNT file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.

How to solve problems with KNT files
- Associate the KNT file extension with the correct application.
- Update your software that should actually open presentation note files. Because only the current version supports the latest KNT file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available Keynote update.
- To make sure that your KNT file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
