Open CRC File

A CRC extension file is a type of file created by Total Commander, a program used to organize and manage files in Windows.

Total Commander

Total Commander is a shareware file manager for Windows, Windows Phone, Windows Mobile/Windows CE and Android, developed by Christian Ghisler.

Total Commander is originally coded with Delphi, and the latest 64-bit versions of Windows were developed with Lazarus.

In this case, the CRC file contains a Cyclic Redundancy Check code, hence the acronym CRC, for a split file, and is used to verify that the files in a split file have been successfully restored to the original file.

Total Commander is similar to Windows Explorer, except that it allows additional functions, such as packing and unpacking files, accessing FTP servers, and comparing file content.
