dynamic list see also List of file formats alphabetical This is a list of file format s organized by type, as can be found on computer s. Filename extension s are usually noted in parentheses if they differ from the format name or abbreviation. In theory, using the ISO basic Latin alphabet basic Latin alphabet A Z and an extension of up to three single cased letters, 18,279 combinations can be made 26 sup 3 sup 26 sup 2 sup 26 sup 1 sup 26 sup 0 sup . When other acceptable characters are accepted, the maximum number is increased very possibly to a number consisting of at least six digits . Many operating systems do not limit filenames to a single extension shorter than 4 characters, like what was common with some operating systems that supported the File Allocation Table FAT file system. Examples of operating systems that don t have such a small limit include Unix like systems. Also, Microsoft Windows Windows NT NT , Windows 95 95 , Windows 98 98 , and Windows Me Me don t have a three character limit on extensions for 32 bit or 64 bit applications on file system s other than pre Windows 95 Windows NT 3.5 versions of the File Allocation Table FAT file system. Some filenames are given extensions longer than three characters.
