What is a PH file?

PH files mostly belong to PHYLIP. The PH file is mainly a phylogenetic tree data file used in evolutionary studies with the PHYLIP package. It holds tree structure information in a simple text-based layout and is processed by specialized software.
In some instances, a PH file may also be a game data file for Phantasmagoria; it can store Poser animation details that programs like Photoshop might use.

For evolutionary data, check for branch-like structures and species notations.

For game data, the file might include animation cues.

FilExt.com tip: You can visit the PHYLIP webpage for more details on the research format.

How can I open a PH file?

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