What to Do When a .X13 File Fails to Open

Because .X13 files originate from various programs, they aren't universally openable.

  1. Identify the Source: If received from an economist, it may be X-13ARIMA-SEATS statistical data; if from a retro gamer, it suggests Hooligans game files.
  2. Check the Header: Inspect the first bytes in a text or hex editor:
    • Plain text or XML suggests a readable configuration script.
    • "PK" indicates a standard ZIP archive.
    • Unreadable binary often means a proprietary format.
  3. Use the Original Software: The creating program is usually required to open it properly, such as X-13ARIMA-SEATS or Hooligans; if uncertain, ask the sender.
  4. Use this Webpage: Drag and drop the file into our viewer to detect its format, extract readable metadata, and preview the contents when possible.
