What is a .MHT file?
An MHT file is a type of file that stores a complete webpage, including all its elements such as text, images, CSS, and JavaScript, into a single file. This file format is known as MIME HTML, or "MHTML." When you save a webpage as an MHT file using a web browser like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, it captures and integrates all the components of the webpage into one file, making it easy to share or archive the page for later viewing.
The MHT file format is especially useful for keeping a webpage's content exactly as it is at the time of saving, including all its visual and functional elements. This can be helpful for offline viewing or for keeping a record of web content that might change over time.
To open an MHT file, you can use several different programs: 1. **Web Browsers**: - **Google Chrome**: Open by dragging the file into the browser or using the 'Open File' option. - **Opera**: Similar to Chrome, you can drag and drop the file into the browser or use the file menu to open it. - **Microsoft Edge**: Supports MHT files directly through the browser's open file feature. - **Mozilla Firefox**: Requires an additional extension called Mozilla Archive Format to open MHT files.
2. **Text and Document Editors**: - **Microsoft Word 365**: Can open MHT files, allowing you to view and edit the content as a document. - **Kingsoft Writer**: Part of the WPS Office suite, this program also supports opening and editing MHT files. - **WizBrother WizHtmlEditor**: A specialized editor for handling HTML and MHT files.
3. **Other Tools**: - **File Viewer Plus**: Available from the Microsoft Store, this tool can open a wide range of file formats including MHT. - **Terra Informatics BlockNote.Net**: A simple HTML editor that can handle MHT files. - **Web**: Some online tools and services might also offer the ability to view MHT files directly in your web browser.
It's important to note that Microsoft Internet Explorer, which historically supported MHT files, has been discontinued. Users of this browser are encouraged to switch to more modern alternatives like Microsoft Edge.
When using these programs to open an MHT file, you typically just need to select the file from your device's file system using the program's 'Open' dialog, or
