What is an HMR file?

HMR files mostly belong to OziExplorer. HMR files are not one‐size‐fits‐all. In many cases they hold a Hydrographic Map Raster that uses a TIFF format. This means the file contains map images and data used in hydrographic surveying. You may open these files with specialized software such as OziExplorer.
Other uses include:
  • HOMER model files – files used by energy simulation programs. For details, visit HOMER Energy.
  • LakeShore HMS data files – files that store measurement data from a Hall Measurement System; see LakeShore.
  • Encrypted audio files – files managed by tools from Hamamatsu Photonics. More info is available at Hamamatsu.
  • FilExt.com note: The specific content depends on the file's origin. Confirm the file source or metadata to decide which software is needed.

    How to open an HMR file

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