Don't have the ArcView World File For GIF Image software package? The good news is that another popular software package also opens files with the GFW suffix. If you don't have ArcView World File For GIF Image, you can also use BASIC GFA File. Alternatively, you can do a Google search to see if there are other free software packages that also open files with the GFW extension.

Pro Tip: Consider whether you really want to buy expensive software to open a once-off file, or whether you want to risk possibly installing malware with a free software package.

2. Change GFW File Associations

Computers are smart, but can sometimes be easily confused. Your PC may ask you to choose a default program with which you want to open GFW file extensions in future. If you don't receive this prompt, you could change your GFW file associations via your Control Panel.

3. Download a Universal Software Viewer

Do you frequently receive files like GFW that you can't open? Ruling out any possible issues with your computer would be a first step to solving your issues. However, if your computer is working just fine and you simply receive many binary files for which you don't have the appropriate software, you could download a universal software viewer.
