Opening NG Files
The NG file type is primarily associated with Norton Guide.
What is an NG file
NG files mostly belong to Norton Guide. Your NG file may serve different functions based on its origin.
If it comes from a Norton tool, it is a Norton Guide database that stores structured reference data used internally by Norton products.
If the file is part of a clinical application, it is a NeuroGuide EEG data file. This file holds brain wave measurements and is used with specialized EEG analysis software. For more details on NeuroGuide data, visit Applied Neuroscience.
In some cases, a NG file may actually contain image data in the PNG format. Here, the file is a Portable Network Graphics image employed by Microsoft Office. More information can be found at Microsoft Office.
Note: Even though they share the same extension, these files differ in structure and function. It is important to verify the file’s origin before choosing a viewer or editor.
Tips:Examine file properties to identify its source. Use Norton software for Norton Guide database files. Open NeuroGuide EEG files with dedicated EEG analysis tools. View PNG image files with any standard image viewer.

How do you open NG files?
You need a suitable software like Norton Guide to open an NG file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your NG file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a NG file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
