AVT files are somewhat of a specialized file format, not as commonly encountered as, say, a JPG or PDF file. Essentially, the AVT is a file extension that can denote one of several types of files, depending on context and software. This article will cover the basics on a few of the possibilities.
Use of .AVT as a Data File
One possible interpretation of the .AVT file extension is as a data file in the form of an Avery Label Printer file. In this format, the file contains data specifying text, objects, layouts, and other elements used by the Avery Design & Print software. It's not a format you are likely to encounter unless you own an Avery printer. The specific software needed to open and use this type of AVT file is Avery Design & Print, which can be downloaded from their official website, Avery.com.
AVT in Kaspersky Antivirus
Another interpretation revolves around Kaspersky Antivirus software, in which a .AVT file serves as an AVZ Script, used for customized tasks such as system disinfection or for automating routine tasks. Handled by the technical specialists of Kaspersky lab, this use is rather specific and tied solely to this software. AVT files in this format can only be open and used by the Kaspersky Anti-Virus tool. Get more about this software here.
AVT as an Active. Audio Song File
In certain contexts, .AVT files may exist as a part of Active. Audio's now discontinued software, Active DJ Studio, as a Song Information file. While the software is no longer in development, existing users may still encounter these files. Opening or using these types of AVT files requires Active DJ Studio, which, while no longer available, may still be found on certain old version software repositories, like Soft32.
AVT File Important Information
In conclusion, AVT files can be of several types based on what software they are associated with. It is important to recognize that determining the software associated with your AVT file is the first step to understand how to open it. Absent the context - the software that created or uses the AVT file - the user is unlikely to make much headway. Also, most users are unlikely to encounter these specialized file types unless they use the aforementioned pieces of software. Therefore, learning about AVT files may not seem essential for everyone.
