Issue: You Can't Open 3WE Files

You might've double-clicked on the file, to be greeted with the "Choose a program to open the file" message. In some cases, you might be able to open the file, but the contents may seem garbled and that's because it was written to be opened in a specific program. Of course, you can't open a 3WE file with just any software. Not to worry - we have you covered!

Step 1: Find Out Which Software Uses 3WE Files

Computer Files

Opening your 3WE file starts with understanding which software uses a 3WE extension. In many cases, different types of software may use the same file extensions, also known as file associations.

Binary Data is the most popular software package that uses 3WE files. Therefore, your best bet would be to download that software package and use it to open your file.

Zipped files tend to require special handling and may require password access. Contact the file owner or the person who gave you the file for the password and unzip the file before attempting to open the contents.

Step 2: Learning More About 3WE "File Type"

If you can't download Binary Data software, or if it doesn't work to open your 3WE file, you may be able to use the file type as a clue to finding out how you can open it. Using a Windows PC, you can right-click and navigate to "Properties" and then to "Type of file". On a Mac, select "More info" and "Kind".

Most likely, you will find that 3WE files are considered Uncommon Files. Because many programs packages utilize Uncommon Files, you might be able to find a program on your computer that handles those types of files.

If that still does not work, you may have to contact the associated software developer to find out how to open it. Unless you know the specific developer, you could contact one of these developers for assistance.
