FILExt - The File Extension Source
I have a file and need to know what's in it. I have no idea what produced the file. How do I look at the file contents?
This is a common problem; so much so that FILExt has a special page dedicated to it. Please see the Look Into a File page.

2. I need to convert one file format to another. Are there any tools to do this?
Yes. There are a number of tools that aid in format conversion; you may have one of them on your computer...the program that created the file. Many programs have an overlooked feature called either File|Save As or Export which will handle format conversion directly. If not, then here is a short list of some helpful programs and Web sites. -------------
5. How do I find a program once I know the file type?
If the extension is unique then there might be a link to an appropriate Web site on the extension page (sorry if there's not, but this is an unending research process).......
