What is a .webloc file?

.webloc is a macOS Internet shortcut (bookmark) file. It’s a tiny XML property list that stores a single URL.

• Double‑click to open the link in your default browser
• Drag into Finder, the Dock, or project folders
• Rename freely — the destination URL is stored inside the file
• Sync‑friendly via iCloud Drive, Dropbox, etc.

This extension creates .webloc files so you can keep links alongside your files and projects.
