Computers store data in files. Different types of files are used to store different kinds of data. Text files (.txt, .doc, .rtf) store text informations. Video files (.mpg, .avi, .wmv, .mkv) store videos and movies. Graphic/image files (.gif, .tif, .png, .jpg) store pictures and other images.

Every kind of a file uses his own format of stored informations. Applications designed to work this these files know their formats and use them to import and export data from or to files. Type of a file is recognized by its extension (part of a name after last dot character).
