WEBLOC is macOS's equivalent of Windows .url files — a small file that stores a URL and opens it in your default browser when double-clicked. Drag a link from Safari (or any browser) to your desktop or a Finder folder, and macOS creates a .webloc file automatically.
The format is a binary property list (plist) containing a single key-value pair: the URL string. Older versions used XML plist encoding, which you could read in a text editor; newer macOS versions use binary plist, which you can inspect with `plutil -p file.webloc` in Terminal. Either way, the file is typically under 1 KB — it's just a pointer to a web address.
WEBLOC files are a macOS-only format. They won't work on Windows or Linux without conversion. If you need cross-platform bookmark sharing, copy the URL itself rather than sending the .webloc file. Some third-party tools can batch-convert .webloc files to .url (Windows) format or plain text URL lists.
