What is a TLC file?

TLC files mostly belong to The Logo Creator. TLC files are not one single format. Their purpose and structure depend on the application that created them.
  • CAD Raster Image: Some TLC files store a raster image for use in computer‐aided design. They may contain technical drawing data used by systems such as Trimble Link.
  • Logo Design Projects: Other TLC files come from logo design software like The Logo Creator. In these cases the file may be a project or canvas file (sometimes called a Tag Library Canvas file) and can use an XML format.
  • Target Language Compiler Files: A different group of TLC files works with engineering tools such as MATLAB/Simulink. These files guide the conversion of models into code (Simulink Coder target files).
  • Compiled Script or Configuration Files: There are also TLC files that hold compiled scripts, sometimes compressed (using zlib) or serving as configuration files in editors like TeXworks for tag editing. Additional details are provided on research pages.
  • FilExt.com tip: The key is to know the software that created your file. It will determine how you can open or view the file.

    How to open a TLC file

    You need a suitable software like The Logo Creator to open a TLC file.

If you cannot open your TLC file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a TLC file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
