File extensions, or the three or four characters found at the end of a file name, help identify the type of file. They are used by the operating system to associate each file with an appropriate application or function. Here, we discuss some common and more unique file extensions out of a possible 1730.

Image file types are expansive and include .jpg, .png, and .tiff. Open these files using any standard image viewer or image manipulation software such as Adobe Photoshop.
Covering .mp4, .mov, and .wmv among others, video files need a media player software like VLC Media Player or a web browser that supports video playback.
Audio files include formats like .mp3, .wav, and .ogg. Similar to video file formats, these can be opened with media player software or suitable web browsers.

Database files such as .sql, .db and .accdb are opened with database programs like MySQL or Microsoft Access.
