What is a CLK file?
Files with the .CLK extension contain projects created using the Corel R.A.V.E. software, including the animation settings, as well as information about objects, texts, images, buttons, and custom shapes. The app was used to create graphical animations that were based on objects. Files of this type are often used when creating animations meant for use in webpages.
Adobe Flash is a program that is similar to Corel R.A.V.E., though it also allows for the exporting of videos into the Adobe SWF format. The development of the Corel R.A.V.E. application ended with the publishing of its 3rd version, which is part of the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite version 12, published in 2004.

How to open CLK files
If you cannot open the CLK file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports CLK among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the CLK file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the CLK format files
The inability to open and operate the CLK file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the CorelDRAW Corel R.A.V.E. Animation Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a CLK file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the CLK file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the CLK from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the CLK format
- The CLK file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the CLK file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a CLK file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the CLK file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the CLK file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the CLK file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.CLK) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected CLK file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the CLK file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. CLK) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
