What is a MACRO file?

MACRO files mostly belong to MacroDroid. MACRO files store a set of instructions meant to run automated tasks. They often use an internal JSON format to list the actions to be performed.

Automated Task Sequence: Many of these files come from MacroDroid. They define a routine of actions that run automatically. You can learn more about how these are applied at MacroDroid.

Macro-enabled Document: Other MACRO files use a PDF structure to package macro commands. These are linked to Microsoft Word’s macro features. More details are available at Microsoft Word.

FilExt.com tip: To view or edit these files, you may open them in a plain text editor to inspect the JSON code or use the specialized software suited for each format.
