What is a .BAK file?
.BAK is a Electronics, runtime & backups (more) file (Data & code). Analyser identifies a .BAK file and reads the metadata in its header, right in your browser.
- Did you know
- Analyser handles .BAK alongside related formats such as .Kicad_Pro, .Kicad_Prl, .Kicad_Sch and more.
- In Analyser's format library, .BAK sits in the Data & code category.
- Analyser recognises .BAK files from their contents and reads what metadata it can - entirely on your device, with nothing uploaded.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify electronics, runtime and backup files: KiCad projects, local settings and schematics (.kicad_pro / .kicad_prl / .kicad_sch), Unreal third-party software notices (.tps), ASP.NET browser definitions (.browser), Python extension modules (.pyd DLLs), ICU internationalisation data (.icu), Proteus Design Suite backups (.pdsbak) and generic backup copies (.bak / .old).
- Depth of analysis
- .BAK 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 .BAK file
- Drag a .BAK 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.
