History

Windows Journal was introduced with Windows XP Tablet Edition in 2002. It aimed to provide a digital alternative to traditional pen and paper note-taking, specifically targeting users of tablet PCs. Windows Journal offered a natural and intuitive interface for handwritten input and became a popular tool among tablet PC users.

Description

The .jnt file format is a proprietary file format used by Windows Journal to store notes and annotations. It contains a collection of ink strokes and metadata associated with the user's input, such as pen pressure and color. The file may also include embedded images or screenshots captured during note-taking sessions.

Technical Details

The .jnt file format is based on the Compound File Binary Format (CFBF), which is a container file format used by Microsoft Office applications. It stores ink data in the Ink Serialized Format (ISF), which represents the strokes and associated properties in a compressed binary form.

Once you have Windows Journal installed, you can double-click on a .jnt file to open it within the application. From there, you can view and edit the notes, add new annotations, and export the file in various formats.

How to Convert .jnt Files?

Converting .jnt files to other formats can be achieved by using Windows Journal itself.
