What is a .ACL file?

The most common data format on the web.

An ACL file is a Microsoft Office AutoCorrect List - a binary file that stores your personal text replacements such as "teh" to "the" used by Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. You cannot open it directly; manage entries through the Office AutoCorrect Options dialog. To move your list to another computer, copy the MSO####.acl file to the same folder on the new machine.

Frequently asked questions

Is my .ACL file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is opened directly from the copy you pick.

My .ACL file is invalid. Can you fix it?

We show the exact line and column of the first error. For common problems like comments, trailing commas, single quotes or Python-style True/False/None, click Try to repair and download the fixed file.

How large can the file be?

Up to 50 MB. The tree only builds the branches you open, so even multi-megabyte files stay responsive.

What is JSONPath?

A path like $.orders[3].customer.email that points to one value inside the data. Click any node to see its path and copy it for code, jq or your API docs.

Can I see my data as a table?

Yes. Any array of objects can be shown in the Table view and downloaded as CSV.
