How can I open a SAF file?

You need a suitable software like Flashpoint to open a SAF 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 SAF file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SAF file directly in the browser:.

SAF file format:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Below you will find our evaluation of the SAF files:

SAF is not a commonly used file extension and does not have a uniform file format. The file formats most commonly found in SAF files are:

• 10% of all SAF files belong to Sprout game data archive. The files are on average 11 MB in size and range from 6 MB to 14 MB. The keywords FFAS, Xiph.Org libTheora I 20040317 3 2 0, theora, theora# and JFIF are typical for these files. The following filename is common: FF2.saf or PizzaFrenzy.saf. Files like these have the following tags: ffarchive and iggle.
• 6% of all SAF files use the Microsoft Compound File format, which is also called Compound File Binary File format (CFBF or CFB) or OLE2 Compound Document format. This file format is used by previous Microsoft Office programs and other Windows programs and stores the data in complex containers and sections. The file signature of compound files is defined as D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1, so the first character of a file looks like "DOCFILE". There is also a globally unique identifier 88a4c2e8-43e0-11d2-992d-0020afe4c280. The file contains several sections which are named like DeLormeComponents. Most of these files are 9 KB to 130 KB in size. The following filename is common: Vacation1.saf or Vacation2.saf.

All other SAF files (84%) have no consistent format, the following 9 formats can be found: Helix Stronghold Encrypted data, Authentex DataSAFE encrypted archive, MPEG-4 Simple Aggregation Format, RIFF, ATTACK and SSEZ. They are often associated with stock. If you want to find out which format your SAF file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .saf file to analyze".
