Open DSC File

DSC files have a variety of uses, some of them described below:

Kingsoft Design Science Equation File

A DSC file, in this case, is a configuration file used by WPS Office, an office suite that includes applications for making documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.

The DSC file stores the Equation Editor settings, including window size, interface style, and zoom magnification, allowing users to reopen the editor and resume the same settings.

Text Description File

In this use case, the DSC file is a plain text file used by various software applications to store descriptive information about one or more of their processes.

This DSC file contains data parameters or other types of plain text information that can be described by an associated software application as a readme file.

Nikon Identification File

For Nikon, the DSC file contains information about photos taken with a Nikon brand digital camera.

DSC files are saved on the memory card along with image files.

Because they are not images themselves, DSC files are typically only a few kilobytes in size.

DSC files are not intended to be opened manually and are therefore usually hidden on the card, as they are only referenced by Nikon digital camera software.

It is possible to come across file names that begin with DSC, however, these are image files, and therefore usually have a JPG extension.

Debian Source Control File

For Debian, DSC files are source files that contain data that describes the other files in the source package.

The DSC file is packed together with a tarball file with the extension .TAR.GZ which contains other important files for installing programs. A source package is created with the dpkg-build package tool.
