The file extension is just three little letters after a dot (.)

If you are lucky, some program on your computer with a file association will understand the specific file structure and do something meaningful...

BIN = Audio format (short ints,no header)
BIN = Binary file
BIN = MacBinary archive format often used on Macintosh
BIN = machine language
BIN = Micrografx Designer 7 Project Image
BIN = Mime: application/mac-binary
BIN = Mime: application/macbinary
BIN = Mime: application/octet-stream
BIN = Mime: application/x-binary
BIN = Mime: application/x-macbinary
BIN = SGI Powerflip
...
RAR = Mime: application/rar
RAR = RAR-compressed archive
...
ISO = 9660 = iso 9660 cd-rom file system format
ISO = CALS ISO 8613 : Bitmap graphics
ISO = Easy CD Creator CD image file
ISO = International Standards Organization : ISO-9660 table
ISO = ISO Buster File
...
ACE = Aces200 image format
ACE = Archive
...
etc...
