What is an NSA file?

NSA files mostly belong to Notability. NSA files are note archives that use the ZIP format.
They are produced by note-taking apps such as Notability and NoteLedge to bundle text, images, and metadata into one file.

They store various elements of a note in a single compressed package

The ZIP structure makes it possible to open the file with standard archive software

The file retains its internal layout for reliable viewing in its native application

You can rename the file extension to .zip and use tools like 7-Zip or WinZip to look inside.
FilExt.com tip: Be cautious when editing any part of the archive to avoid corruption.
