You Don’t Have the Right Program
There are specific computer programs that are compatible with XNS files, and you may not have one installed on your computer. The most common program is Binary Data. Try installing this program and see if you can open the file. You can download this program from the developer's website, the Microsoft Store / Apple App Store, or popular download portals.
You’re Not Sure of the File Type
Knowing the file type can help you open XNS files. Different file extensions can be associated with different types of files. Uncommon Files usually use the XNS extension. You might have a program installed on your computer that is designed to open this type of file. A good first step is trying to open the file in that program.
If you don’t know what type of file the XNS file is, finding this information is simple. Please follow the instructions below depending on the type of operating system you are using.
On a Windows Computer:
- Right-click the file icon.
- Select “Properties” from the drop-down menu.
- Find the file type listed under “Type of File”.
On a Mac:

You Need Help From the Developer
If no programs will open the XNS file, you can ask software developers for help. They know their software better than anyone, and they might be able to explain why you can’t open the file. See the chart below to find the developers for the most common programs used to open XNS files.

You Need a Universal File Viewer
A universal file viewer, like File Magic (Download), is a tool that you can use to open a file when no other program will work. They can open many different file types, depending on the format. However, some files are incompatible with universal file viewers and will only open in binary file format. If none of the other options listed work, try a universal file viewer to open your XNS file.
