| Generally Cache Format | N/A | Misc Files |
A .CACHE file is a generic temporary file created by a wide variety of applications. This type of file is typically used for caching data so that it can be accessed quickly and efficiently by the application that created it. Usually, these files store information such as web page content, user personal settings, icon positions, embedded fonts, and other related content. Such cache files can range in size, depending on the amount of data stored in them.
The .CACHE format usually uses an indexed memory system where file contents are stored in separate components and retrieved when necessary. Rather than having to regenerate or download the content each time the application requests it, this cache provides a readily-available snapshot of the original source data. This makes it much faster for applications to access and speeds up processes, especially when dealing with large applications or games.

Other generic temp file formats include .TMP, .BDT, .TEM, .CHK, and .$$$.
Common Applications
Windows OS, many web browsers such as Google Chrome and Firefox, utility programs like AVG TuneUp Utilities, editing programs such as Adobe Photoshop, and some streaming media services like Twitch use this type of file.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CACHE) 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 .CACHE 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 .CACHE 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 .CACHE 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 .CACHE extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CACHE file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CACHE 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 .CACHE file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CACHE file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CACHE file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
