What is a GSA file?

GSA files mostly belong to CaseWare Working Papers. GSA files are not a single file type. Their function changes based on the software that made them.
For example, some of these files are Groove Workspace files used with CaseWare Working Papers. They hold project data and work session information. More details can be found at CaseWare.
some are Game Sprite Animation files. These files store frame data and settings for game animations and are related to tools like the GSA Image Extractor and the Gameloft Studio Archive.
A further usage, at some, is for Gas Analyzer data files. In this case the files may also be connected to ArchiCAD project data and are supported by companies like Graitec. Check more information at Graitec.
FilExt.com tip: The same extension can mean different things. Identify the source software to decide how to open or view your file.

How to open GSA files

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