What are the most common File Extensions?

The extension of a file or file allows the operating system to identify the type of program that is necessary to open said file. The extension of a file is the suffix that follows the name of the file.

For example in Document.docx, document is the name of the file and .docx is the extension of the file.

There are a large number of software applications available in the market. Each application has its file extension. Next, let’s see the most used types of file extensions:
