What is an XFL file?

XFL files mostly belong to Animate by Adobe. XFL filename extension is mainly associated with a Flash interchange format typically used to save movie archives created with Animate. An XFL archive contains an XML file which defines the structure, keyframes, effects, and transitions in a movie created with Animate. This XFL file also contains a "Library/" folder which comprises media assets such as the images, sounds, and video clips used in a movie. XFL files are stored in Zip format and they are mainly used to import movie contents into Animate. XFL filename extension is also associated with xICE Desktop, a discontinued file, password, attachment, and email encryption software Windows operating system saves encrypted folders in XLF files.

XFL file format details:

A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature.

File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened.
