TSG file extension format:

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the TSG files is as follows:

The TSG file extension is rarely used and covers different formats for different programs. The two most common formats are as follows:

30% of all TSG files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "14" at the beginning. If you open these files in a text editor, you will see only illegible characters. Most of these files are 550 KB to 880 KB in size. The file type is very recent. The files contain the following words: theosg42. Examples of file names are save00.tsg or save01.tsg.
6% of all TSG files start with the magic bytes SEGMENTS = , which are always the first bytes of this file format. The contents of these files can even be read by a human. TSG files can be up to 140 KB in size, but are often around 95 bytes - 2 KB. The files contain the following words: SEGMENT 0, SEGMENT 1, SEGMENT 2 and SEGMENTS. Files like these are sometimes connected to font.

The remaining 64% of all TSG files are files with no common format. If you want to find out what your TSG file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
