The .TXD file extension is associated with the Grand Theft Auto III, a PlayStation2 game. It stands for “Texture Dictionary” and contains all the textures used in the game’s environment. It supports 24-bit true color and 8-bit palletized texture formats. TXD files are very useful when converting a model or texture from one format to another, from one game engine to another, etc.
How is the.TXD File Created?
The TXD file is generated automatically by the game software while it builds the levels and imports textures for displaying on 3D models. All of the textures in the game are first kept in a single file called a TXD file, which is then split down into smaller texture files, depending on the size and type of textures being used. Some of the main advantages of using TXD files are that developers do not have to worry about managing a large number of texture files, and only need to manage this single TXD file. This helps in reducing the complexity of development and testing.

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