1st Method: Open it in another program.

When you double-click AKT files, your computer attempts to open it in a program associated with AKT files. If there’s no program associated with AKT files on your computer, the file won’t open. To open the file, download one of the most popular programs associated with AKT files such as AKT Compressed Archive or Aksharamala Source Keymap File.

2nd Method: Take a hint from the file type.

The AKT file extension usually indicates it's under the umbrella of Uncommon Files. However, if it’s another file type, it might not open with one of the programs listed above. Take the following steps to find the file type:

  1. Right-click the file.
  2. Click “Properties” (Windows) or “More Info” (Mac).

3rd Method: Check with the developer.
