The LOCALSTORAGE (WebKit Local Storage Data File) file extension is an integral part of the WebKit web content rendering engine and is the default local storage format for web applications. A LOCALSTORAGE file stores web application data on a user's local machine in a secure database format for the purpose of caching data, enabling offline functionality, and maintaining user authentication data. Such files are used by a wide range of modern web browsers such as Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.
The Local Storage Format
The content within a LOCALSTORAGE file is stored in a so-called ‘SQLite’ database, which is an open source relational database system designed for low memory consumption. In this manner, multiple LOCALSTORAGE files can be merged together to form larger databases within one file. This makes the LOCALSTORAGE file extremely useful when multiple web applications are combined and security of data is maintained while being moved between web pages and/or servers. Unlike other web-related formats such as.HTML or.CSS, the content stored within a LOCALSTORAGE file is confidential to the specific application and is only accessible by the user or application itself.
Supported File Extensions
Other related local storage formats for web applications include.WEBARCHIVE,.MANIFEST,.DS_STORE, and.APCACHE files.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .LOCALSTORAGE) 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 .LOCALSTORAGE 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 .LOCALSTORAGE 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 .LOCALSTORAGE 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 .LOCALSTORAGE extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .LOCALSTORAGE file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .LOCALSTORAGE 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 .LOCALSTORAGE file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .LOCALSTORAGE file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .LOCALSTORAGE file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
