What is a .ADF file?
ADF is an ambiguous extension shared by several unrelated formats.
- Did you know
- The .adf extension is reused by a range of unrelated formats, from Amiga disk images to Esri grids.
- As an Amiga Disk File it stores a floppy sector by sector, almost always exactly 901,120 bytes for a standard 880 KB Amiga disk.
- Plain ADF images cannot capture copy protection, so preservationists turn to the IPF format for protected Amiga games.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify and read more document, ebook and publishing files: Scribus (.sla/.scd version, pages, fonts), MS Works and Windows Write, Word 97 templates (.dot), StarOffice 5.x binary docs, Shanda Bambook and Sony BBeB (.lrf/.lrx) ebooks, FrameMaker, document templates and legacy PageMaker.
- Depth of analysis
- .ADF is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .ADF file
- Drag a .ADF file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
