What is a PD4 file?

PD4 files mostly belong to DNA Strider / PhotoDirector 4. PD4 files come in two main forms and serve specific, non-interchangeable roles. One type is a DNA sequencing data file used in bioinformatics. In this case, the file—sometimes also called an ABI Sanger sequencing data file—is created by systems such as DNA Strider and can be analyzed with tools like Chromas Lite. It contains raw sequencing results that need processing with dedicated molecular biology software.
Another variant of the PD4 format is used as a picture database. This internal file holds information for an encrypted slideshow or image project and is tied to PhotoDirector 4. To open this type, you must use PhotoDirector 4 from CyberLink; further details are available on the CyberLink website.

If your file originates from DNA analysis, use the appropriate sequencing software.

If it comes from a photo project, rely on PhotoDirector 4 to view and manage the content.

FilExt.com remember: Identifying the source application is key because each PD4 file is tailored to its own data and cannot be freely interchanged.

How to open a PD4 file

You need a suitable software like DNA Strider / PhotoDirector 4 to open a PD4 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 PD4 file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a PD4 file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

How to solve problems with PD4 files

Associate the PD4 file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open data files. Because only the current version supports the latest PD4 file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available DNA Strider / PhotoDirector 4 update.
To make sure that your PD4 file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
