'''.nfo''' (also written '''.NFO''' or '''NFO''', a [[abbreviation|contraction]] of "info", or "[[information]]") is a [[filename extension]] for text files that accompany [[warez scene]] releases of [[Copyright infringement|pirated]] software or media.

NFO files contain information about the release, such as the digital media title, authorship, year, or license information. This information is delivered for publishing through digital media to make it searchable on the web as well as within local catalogues and libraries.
