| Compressed File From A Multi-volume Archive (part 1) | N/A | Backup Files |
The .001 file extension is associated with a split archive file. It is used with special software, such as 7-Zip, WinRAR, and WinZip, to store large files as archives that have been divided into multiple volumes for easier management. When a large archive is split in this way, each individual volume will contain the .001 extension.
Split archive files are useful for several reasons. For instance, they can be used for transferring large files over the Internet when a divide-and-conquer approach is more efficient than one large transfer. Additionally, they can be used to create backups of large sized files that are stored on various systems across networks.
Similar Formats:
There are numerous other file extensions similar to .001 which can also be used to save large sized files and archives. Some of the most commonly used formats are .002, .003, .rar, .zip, and .7z.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .001) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .001 extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .001 file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .001 extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .001 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .001 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .001 file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .001 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .001 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .001 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
