.CACHE File Extension
What is a CACHE File?
A CACHE file is used to store information that a software application has recently used, to speed up subsequent access to this data. These files are commonly created by web browsers, image editing programs, and other applications that benefit from quick loading of frequently accessed data.
How to Open a CACHE File
Generally, CACHE files are not intended to be opened manually since they are managed automatically by the applications that create them. Attempting to manually open such files might not yield useful information and could potentially disrupt the application's performance.
Can CACHE Files Be Converted?
No, CACHE files are not typically converted into other file formats as they are specific to the application's operational needs and contain data formatted for quick access and not for interchange or archival purposes.
