.MAC File Extension

You can open a MAC file with XnViewMP or Tom's Editor, to view the image it contains.

You can use XnViewMP, Tom's Editor, Logipole Konvertor, or Deark to convert MAC files to other, more common image formats. For example, Tom's Editor can convert MAC files to the following formats (and several others):

• .JPG - JPEG Image
• .PNG - Portable Network Graphic
• .BMP - Bitmap Image
• .GIF - Graphical Interchange Format
• .WEBP - WebP Image

Macros are especially helpful for automating repetitive tasks. Users can record various types of functions, whether it be inserting a snippet of information, performing edits to an image, or calculating an equation, then execute them at a later time with just a couple of mouse clicks or key combinations.

When saving a recorded function, the MAC file is created to store the commands that were performed to complete the function. The commands are stored in plain text in the MAC file and can be opened and edited by a text editor. However, a macro stored in a MAC file can only be executed by the program used to create it.

NOTE: MAC files are potentially dangerous files because they may be used to store malware. It is important that you verify the source of a MAC file before opening it.
