.crdownload — Partial/Incomplete Download
A placeholder for a file still being downloaded by a browser. It's incomplete and generally unusable until the download finishes and the browser renames it.
Also known as: .part, .download
A generic or catch-all format. What it can actually do depends entirely on the application that created it — treat it with the same caution as any file from an untrusted source.

Frequently asked questions
What is a .crdownload file?
A placeholder for a file still being downloaded by a browser. It's incomplete and generally unusable until the download finishes and the browser renames it.
Can I edit a .crdownload file?
Not directly as text — .crdownload is a runnable or packaged format, not one meant for manual editing.
Does having a .crdownload extension mean the file is safe?
No single extension can guarantee that. A generic or catch-all format. What it can actually do depends entirely on the application that created it — treat it with the same caution as any file from an untrusted source. Always consider where the file came from, not just its name.
