2 different formats have claimed .t65 over the years, so two files with the same extension aren't necessarily the same kind of thing.

How to open a .t65 file

  • Try LibreOffice (free, Windows/Mac/Linux) — it opens an enormous range of current and historic document formats.
  • Microsoft Word and Google Docs handle most mainstream document types.
  • If nothing opens it, open it in a text editor: many older document formats have readable text inside.

The registry records this extension against PageMaker PC Document, PageMaker Mac Document, so software from that family is the most likely match.

How to convert a .t65 file

  • Once it opens in LibreOffice or Word, Save As .docx or .pdf to get it into a format you can use anywhere.

MIME type

When a .t65 file travels over the web, servers label it with this MIME type:

application/vnd.pagemaker
