1. Download another program.

Different file extensions work with different programs, and it can be difficult to figure out which program opens which files. Here are a few programs that usually work with MAT files:

• Freelancer Model Textures File
• MATLAB Variables Binary File
• 3D Studio Material Library
• Sound File
• Pro/ENGINEER Material Properties File
• Access Table Shortcut
• Poser 3D Pose File
• RCSWin Material File
• Vue Materials
• Ox Object-Oriented Matrix Programming Language Matrix File
• ArcView Geocoding Matching Parameters File
• CRiSP Harvest File
• Animation:Master Material

You can download one of these programs from the software developer’s website.

2. Look at the file type.

The file type can sometimes tell you which program might open the file. If you have MAT files, they are most likely types of 3D Image Files. A program that works with 3D Image Files should open MAT files.

Don’t know the file type? You can find it by right-clicking the file and selecting “Properties” or “More Info.” The file type will be listed under “Type of File” or “Kind”.

3. Check with the software developer.

Try contacting the developer of one of the programs mentioned above. They can help you figure out why your MAT file won’t open. Some of the most common developers are listed below.

MATLAB Variables Binary File	The MathWorks Inc.

4. Install a universal file viewer.
