.NFI File Extension

An NFI file is a data file created by the Netflix streaming app for Android and iOS. It contains information that describes a movie or show downloaded using the app. NFI files are saved to the device in a folder along with several other files, which include the .MANIFEST, .NFV, .NFA, and .NFS files.

The Netflix app allows Android and iOS users to download a wide variety of movies and shows for viewing when not connected to the Internet.
