What is a LOOP file?

LOOP files mostly belong to Microsoft Loop. A LOOP file can mean one of two things, depending on the software environment where it was created.
In the Microsoft ecosystem, LOOP files are used to store dynamic meeting content. They act as containers for collaborative components that you can use during a meeting. The file holds structured data that the Microsoft Loop app uses to keep elements like notes or lists updated in real‐time.
In the Apple environment, a LOOP file is an audio loop file. Its internal data is written as a plist (property list) file. This file format is used by GarageBand to hold short audio segments or musical phrases that can be repeated in projects. For more details, see Logic Pro by Apple.

  • If you have the Microsoft version, open it with Microsoft Loop to view and edit meeting content.
  • If it is an audio loop, use GarageBand or another compatible DAW.

FilExt.com tip: This dual usage shows that the same file extension can serve distinct functions, making it important to use the correct software to access its contents.

How to open a LOOP file

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