What is a PICKLE file?

PICKLE files mostly belong to Python by Python Software Foundation. A PICKLE file contains a serialized object structure created with the pickle module in Python programming language. pickle is a built-in Python module that implements binary protocols for serializing or deserializing an object structure. It provides a more resilient binary format for storing and reusing a python object. Python 3 uses PICKLE filename extension for such files while Python 2 uses a PKL file.

How to open a PICKLE file

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

PICKLE file format:

To find out what program is needed to open PICKLE files, you need to determine the file format. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Our evaluation of the PICKLE files looks like this:

The PICKLE file extension is not found very often and is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. The two most popular formats are as follows:

The remaining 25% of all PICKLE files are different files with different signatures. These files sometimes refer to total. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your PICKLE file!

How to solve problems with PICKLE files

  • Associate the PICKLE file extension with the correct application.
  • Update your software that should actually open serialized objects. Because only the current version supports the latest PICKLE file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the Python Software Foundation manufacturer website after an available Python update.
  • To make sure that your PICKLE file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
