A '''page file''' is a file used for [[Paging|paging]]. A page file can also be used for [[Swapping|swapping]] processes out of memory if no [[Swap File]] is installed and the [[System Parameters|system parameter]] [[NOPGFLSWP]] is not set, and for writing a crash dump if the system [[Dump File|dump file]] does not exist in SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE].

There are two types of page files, primary and secondary. The primary page file is [[PAGEFILE.SYS]] located in SYS$SYSTEM; the secondary page file can be anywhere on the system, including devices other than the [[System Disk|system disk]]. The primary page file can be removed if necessary.

Page files are managed through [[SWAPFILES.COM]], [[AUTOGEN]], and [[SYSGEN]].

Page file size is limited by 128 Gb.
