1st Method: Open it in another program.
When you double-click GED files, your computer attempts to open it in a program associated with GED files. If there’s no program associated with GED files on your computer, the file won’t open. To open the file, download one of the most popular programs associated with GED files such as Graphic Environment Document, Arts & Letters Graphics, or Game Editor Project File.
2nd Method: Take a hint from the file type.
The GED file extension usually indicates it's under the umbrella of Data Files. However, if it’s another file type, it might not open with one of the programs listed above. Take the following steps to find the file type:
- Right-click the file.
- Click “Properties” (Windows) or “More Info” (Mac).
- Locate the file type under either “Type of File” (Windows) or “Kind” (Mac).
3rd Method: Check with the developer.
So you’ve tried using a different program, you’ve confirmed the file type, and your GED file still won’t open. Even if these methods were unsuccessful, you might still be able to reach out to a software developer for help. Use the chart below to find the developer for each of the programs mentioned above and contact them directly for assistance.
