An ORG file is a text document created by GNU Emacs, a cross-platform text editor. It stores plain text in the Org mode syntax, which includes simple marks to organize the hierarchy of the text, such as lists, headings, and font variations. ORG files may also contain metadata, such as the title of the document, the author that created it, and the date on which the document was created.
You can open ORG files with Emacs, which fully supports the Org mode markup language. Emacs allows you to edit and save the document, as well as convert it to other formats, such as .HTML and .ODT files. You can also convert ORG files to other types of documents with Pandoc on your computer or online in a web browser.
Since ORG files are saved in plain text, you can also open and edit them with a plain text or source code editor. Microsoft Notepad (Windows) and Apple TextEdit (macOS) are text editors bundled with their respective operating systems that support ORG files.
