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.

OMX file format:
To view or edit OMX files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. In the following you will find our evaluation of the OMX files:
The OMX file extension is rarely used and is used by different programs with different formats. However, the following two file formats are common:
- 55% of all OMX files save the data in HDF5 file format. HDF5 is short for Hierarchical Data Format version 5. It is an open source file format for storing and organizing large amounts of data. They consist of unreadable binary data. The files are on average 11 MB in size and range from 23 KB to 100 MB. The file type was developed only in the last few years. The files contain the following words: TREE. The file name demand.omx or example.omx is typical for these files. Files like these are sometimes connected to skims, trips and total.
- 10% of all OMX files are associated with Ots Media Library. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. The files are 7 KB to 12 KB in size, with a median of 8 KB. The keywords _OtsMX!_ are typical for these files.
All other OMX files (35%) have no consistent format, often e.g. OMAX Make tool path data. Tagged as imported, data or time. If you want to find out which format your OMX file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .omx file to analyze".
