File extensions

Bookmark and Share

On this page you can determine which file extensions are (best) handled by which media players.

Not all matching file extensions has been shown for each media player, rather some media players has been designated as all-in-one players. These players can handle more or less all media file extensions (look under "ALL" in the table below). For exceptions you may inspect the download pages for the different all-in-one players.

There are a number of "special cases" for file extensions, this includes which media players that can handle more or less "any" media file type (all-in-one players) and which media players can handle the two different MPEG file formats (1 and 2). These special cases are shown first (in bold).
