What is a YDK file?

YDK files mostly belong to YGOPro. Yu-Gi-Oh! deck files (YDK) are used mainly by online card game clients such as YGOPro, EDOPro, and YGOPro2. These files store a list of card identifiers that make up a player’s deck for the game.

Usage: The file provides the card configuration so that the game client can load your chosen deck.

Format: They are simple text files and are often encoded in UTF-8. In some cases, the underlying format can be based on JetDB as seen in backup files.

Editing: You can open and modify these with a plain text editor if needed, but be careful not to alter essential formatting.

Sharing: Users often share these deck files online. For example, more details and community tools are available at YGOPRO.

FilExt.com tip: Although most YDK files are dedicated to deck lists for Yu-Gi-Oh! games, a small number are used as backup files by DemirSoft applications. This dual usage means that while the primary purpose is to store deck configurations for gameplay, some files may serve as a backup in a database format.

How do you open YDK files?

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

YDK file format:

To view or edit YDK files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file.
