The APC file extension primarily belongs to two different file types � the DataStudio file and the Prism Snapshot file. While the formats differ greatly, both are opened and used in very distinct ways. Below we explore the details of these file types and the steps to manage them effectively.

Other APC File Formats

In rare instances, APC could also signify the Atari Degas compressed file format or the AIMP MPC Preset file format. These are vastly different in their purposes, with Atari Degas being an old bitmap graphics format for the Atari ST computer system, and AIMP MPC being a preset file used by the AIMP audio player. However, these formats are generally outdated and have been replaced by more compatible file formats.
