Open SPL File

SPL files are multi-format, since various applications can make use of this extension, some of them are as follows:

Adobe Flash Player

The SPL filename extension, in this case, is associated with animations created with FutureFlash Animator, a vector design/animation software that was built on the predecessor of Flash Player.

More about FutureFlash/Flash Player

Flash is an authoring tool for creating multimedia and interactive content.

It allows to combine graphic components, design, animation and technical programming.

New graphic objects can be created or existing ones can be integrated.

At the same time, they can be easily directed and animated by ActionScript code.

Also, audio elements can be added quickly, making it applicable from games to banners.

The SPL file was the predecessor format to FLV.

Printing RAW Data

SPL files, in this case, contain the raw data that a printer driver on a Windows machine generates from print jobs sent to the printer.

RAW printing consists of sending a series of commands to a printer, directly in your native language.

RAW printing will allow you to bypass the printer drivers, making it a very fast and reliable option.

It's perfect for printing receipts, barcodes, and text labels.

These SPL files store data (documents and print commands) in a format that the printer can decode and execute.

sPlan

In this section, the SPL files are used for a program called sPlan, which is used to draw and display circuit schematics in Windows.

sPlan is a computer-aided design software developed for making electronic schematics and drawings.

sPlan shouldn't be confused with Splan, Unified Identity & Badging, a cloud-based application for identity and badging for employees.

sPlan also uses the SPL filename extension to save schematic diagrams.

These SPL files contain data representing electronic components such as resistors, relays, inductors, etc.

Splunk Packages

SPL files, here, are used as Splunk packages.

Splunk allows you to monitor and analyze all the company's big data through a web interface.

All this information is interpreted and captured in a repository through graphs, alerts and panels with clear and useful information for decision making.

A Splunk package is essentially a TAR or GZIP file with the SPL file extension.

The file contains a manifest, a CONF file, and other files that make up an application.
