​KembaraXtra-Computer Terms – binary file:


A binary file is a type of file that contains data stored in a sequence of bytes rather than human-readable text. These files may include executable programs, compiled code, images, compressed data, or other structured data formats used by software applications.


Unlike text files that contain readable characters, binary files are usually interpreted only by specific programs designed to process their internal structure. Because of this, opening a binary file with a text editor typically produces unreadable or meaningless characters.
