About BIN (.BIN)
BIN files are binary files that store data in a format not intended to be read as text. They can contain anything from software programs to images, making them versatile but needing specific programs to open. The term 'binary' reflects that the file contains raw data rather than human-readable characters.
Technical Details
Technically, BIN files store data as a sequence of bytes without a standardized structure, so their contents depend on the program that created them. They may require specific software or emulators to interpret the data correctly. Some BIN files are accompanied by CUE files for disk image format, especially in CD/DVD emulation.
Additional Information & Use Cases
BIN files are often used for disk images or firmware updates, allowing exact copies of data to be preserved or transferred. Historically, they emerged as a way to package executable code and associated resources in a single file during early computing. Many gaming consoles also use BIN files to store game data efficiently.
