Pick the Right Program
Start by choosing the right program to open your VIM file. The most common program used to open VIM files is listed below. At a minimum, this program should be able to open your VIM file:
- VIM Editor File
Note the File Type
Other programs may be able to open your VIM file, depending on the type of file it is. You can find the file type listed in the file’s properties. On a Windows PC, right-click the file, click "Properties", then look under “Type of File.” On a Mac computer, right-click the file, click “More Info,” then look under “Kind”.
Tip: If it’s the VIM file extension, it probably falls under the Settings Files type, so any program used for Settings Files should open your VIM file.
Ask the Developer
Contacting the software developer is another easy way to get help opening a VIM file. You can find the developers for the most common programs used to open VIM files in the list below.
| Software | Developer |
|---|---|
| VIM Editor File | Vi IMproved |
Use a Universal File Viewer
When all else fails, a universal file viewer is the best way to open a VIM file. Programs like File Magic (Download) can open many different types of files, depending on the format. Although, some files may not be compatible with these programs. If your VIM file isn’t compatible, it will only open in binary format.
