What is an LD file?

An .LD file is a file extension with multiple possible uses. The most common use is a Linker Script developed by The GNU Project. Programmers use these files to control memory layout during software compilation with the GNU Linker (ld).

An .LD file can also be a motorsports data log file from MoTeC, a cache data file for Apple macOS and iOS, or a ladder logic diagram for microcontrollers like LDmicro. It is also used for firmware updates in VoIP phones from Poly or Dinstar, and as a data export file from the LearnDash WordPress plugin.

How to open LD files?

Because the .LD extension belongs to completely different software tools, you must first know the exact file type before you open it. You can open a Linker Script with a simple text editor like Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code. You must open motorsports log files with MoTeC i2 data analysis software.

Summary
