Frequently asked questions

What is a .blend file?

Blender's native project format, storing 3D scenes, models, animations, materials, and more in one file.

Can I edit a .blend file?

Yes — .blend files are commonly editable with software such as Blender.

Does having a .blend extension mean the file is safe?

No single extension can guarantee that. Plain documents are generally low-risk to view. If the format supports macros or embedded scripts, keep them disabled unless you specifically expect and trust them. Always consider where the file came from, not just its name.
