Step 1: Double-click the file.

Locate the PND file icon and double-click it. If you have the right program installed, it should open the file automatically. If it doesn’t, move on to Step 2.

Step 2: Look for another program.

If the PND file doesn’t open when you double-click it, you probably don’t have the right program on your computer. There are several popular programs that can be used to open a PND file. Try one of the three most common programs: Pegasus Mail Connection Information, Pension System Pending File, or NstisApp.exe Hyperspectral Data File.

Step 3: Check the file type.

If none of the above programs will open your PND file, check the file type to make sure you have a program that can open that type of file. Most PND files are Uncommon Files, but there’s a chance it might be another type.

You can find this information in the file’s properties. On a Windows computer, just right-click the file and click properties, and look for the file type under “Type of File.” On a Mac computer, right-click the file and click “More info,” and look for the file type under “Kind.”

Step 4: Get help from a developer.

If you can’t figure out how to open a PND file, a developer can probably tell you how. Find the program you have in the table below and contact the developer of that program.

Program Name Developer Name
Pegasus Mail Connection Information David Harris
Pension System Pending File DATAIR Employee Benefit Systems Inc.
NstisApp.exe Hyperspectral Data File Plain Sight Systems

Step 5: Find a universal file viewer.

The easiest way to open a PND file, or any kind of file, is to use a universal file viewer like File Magic (Download). You can use it to open many different file formats. If it’s not compatible, the file will just open in binary.
