TXT file
A TXT file, derived from "text file," is a common and simple file format used to store unformatted text. This file type is universally useful and can be opened with a wide range of software applications on different platforms, such as Windows, MacOS and Linux.
Characteristics and use of TXT files
TXT files contain text without formatting, such as letters, numbers, punctuation and special characters. They are often used for storing simple data such as configuration settings, programming code, notes, memos and more. Because no specific formatting or structure is present, TXT files are ideal for sharing pure text content without loss of information.
The main advantage of TXT files is their high level of compatibility. Because they contain minimal formatting, they can be opened on different devices and word processing programs without any problems. This makes TXT files a convenient choice for exchanging data between different systems and long-term preservation of information.
