LOL file format:
Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. In the following you will find our evaluation of the LOL files:
As a file extension, LOL isn't very common and is used by different programs with different formats. The file formats most commonly found in LOL files are:
- 60% of all LOL files use ZIP compression, i.e. a LOL file contains several compressed files. The average file count is 170 with most LOL files containing between 169 - 170 compressed files. File names inside are always \Fraps\LOLPRO.exe, \Fraps\data\Kaisa.jpg, \Fraps\data\NotFound.JPG, \Fraps\data\aphelios.jpg, \Fraps\data\diana.jpg, \Fraps\data\draven.jpg, \Fraps\data\drmundo.jpg, \Fraps\data\ekko.jpg, \Fraps\data\elise.jpg, \Fraps\data\evelynn.jpg, \Fraps\data\ezreal.jpg, \Fraps\data\fiddlesticks.jpg, \Fraps\data\fiora.jpg, \Fraps\data\fizz.jpg, \Fraps\data\font.ttf, \Fraps\data\galio.jpg, \Fraps\data\gangplank.jpg, \Fraps\data\garen.jpg, \Fraps\data\gnar.jpg, \Fraps\data\gragas.jpg and \Fraps\data\graves.jpg. If you want to see the included files and images, simply rename the file extension to .zip and double-click it. The file size is in the range of 1 MB to 2 MB. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as Fraps/PK, Fraps/data/80/PK, Fraps/data/80/aatrox.jpg, Fraps/data/PK and 8NcV. Examples of file names are Data.lol.
- 5% of all LOL files use the popular JPG file format. JPEG is the standard image format for lossy and compressed image data. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. The file size is in the range of 4 KB to 58 KB.
All the rest of the LOL files (35%) have different formats. You can get all the details of your LOL file by dragging it onto this page or by clicking the button "Choose your .lol file to analyze" above.
