What is the ZLIB file format?
A file with the .ZLIB extension is a file known as Zlib Archive. This format is associated with Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler.
The reliable way to open a .ZLIB file is with software that recognises this exact format, rather than guessing from the file name. If you are not sure what created a file, our file identifier can read its first bytes and name the real format, even when the file has been renamed.
We are still gathering the list of programs that open .ZLIB files. A fully verified, hand-written description of this format is being prepared; until then, the details on this page are drawn directly from our database.
