.OBML16 File Extension

An OBML16 file is a webpage saved in the Opera Binary Markup Language (OBML) format. OBML16 files are created by and can be opened in Opera Mini, a web browser for mobile platforms.

Opera Mini users can download webpages to view them without access to an Internet connection. When a user downloads a webpage, it is saved as an OBML16 file. OBML16 files use the OBML file format, which is a compact format designed to reduce the size (and increase the download speed) of web content.

NOTE: OBML16 files replaced .OBML15 files with the release of Opera Mini version 7.
