What is the .8BF file type?

The .8bf filename extension denotes the Adobe Photoshop Filter Plugin (.8bf) file type and format. 8BF belongs to a family of several plugin formats and extensions used by Adobe Photoshop, a powerful commercial image manipulation tool by Adobe Systems.

An Adobe Photoshop filter plugin (.8bf) is a distinct image processing module to apply graphical effects, enhance, transform, or otherwise modify a bitmap image or its selected part. The process of installing such a filter is basically covered by copying the .8bf file into the standard plugin directory ("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop ...\Plug-Ins" in Microsoft Windows). Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the same filter plugin are denoted by the same extension (.8bf).



8BF is a Windows-specific format because, technically, the .8bf file is a Microsoft Windows executable. On Apple Mac OS X, Adobe Photoshop plugins use a different file format.

Adobe Photoshop-compatible filter modules (.8bf) can be installed and used with a number of other graphics-related software titles. There are both free and paid sources of .8bf filter plugins on the Internet.
