What is an OMX file?

OMX files mostly belong to HDFView/OMX Viewer. OMX files are used in specific technical fields.
They are primarily designed as Open Matrix files built on the HDF5 format, which store large amounts of structured numerical data.
This file extension is also found in other areas:
  • Audio: Some OMX files serve as an audio format and include metadata handled by tools like OtsAVPlayer.
  • Oceanography: Other OMX files are used to contain oceanographic data, accessed with dedicated software such as OMX Viewer.

  • FilExt.com note: Depending on the content, use HDF5-compatible viewers or the specific players and viewers recommended by the data source. For further details, visit the OMX project page.

    How to open OMX files

    You need a suitable software like HDFView/OMX Viewer to open an OMX 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 OMX file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a OMX file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
