Open Any File - Discover how to open any file format

Open Any File is an app for Macs that helps you discover how to open up any file, no matter the format. Many times when cleaning your computer or downloading something it's possible to run across file formats that you've never encountered before.

Open any obscure file formats

While many of the most popular file formats are well known and standardised, it's possible for any developer to create their own file format and many apps do so in an attempt to keep users ring-fenced into using their app. Unfortunately for users this can sometimes mean stumbling across file formats that your Mac does not know how to open. By using Open Any File, you can simply drag and drop any file into it and it will present you with both a detailed analysis of the file, including checksums for integrity and verification purposes, as well as a list of any installed apps capable of opening that file type. If you don't have any apps installed, it is also capable of recommending apps to download that support that file format!

Struggle to open files no more

Open Any File is great for keeping a clean Mac, discovering which apps open file formats you don't know how to use whether you have them installed or not.

  • Pros

    • Can open or recommend apps for most file formats
    • Checksum verification helps ensure integrity of downloaded files
  • Cons

    • Does nothing more than recommend which apps to use
    • Checksums and hexdump likely irrelevant for most users

User reviews about Open Any File

by Michael Parkman

I do not think this app is useful. It grabs other apps and prevents me from uninstalling it. I have not found an uninstaller. If there is an uninstaller for this program please direct me to it. thanks

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
