What is an MGA file?

MGA files mostly belong to OriginLab.

MGA files come in two distinct types. They are used as Multi-channel Analyzer data files and as 3D color lookup tables.

Use the following points to determine their purpose:

  • Multi-channel Analyzer data file: This type stores measurement data from instruments that record signals from several channels. The file typically contains calibration and analysis data used with specialized applications such as OriginLab. It is common in scientific and engineering measurements.
  • 3D color lookup table: This file organizes a color matrix to map input colors to output values. It is used in video and imaging workflows for tasks like color grading. Software such as Briz LUT Converter manages these files. They are also known as Magic Lantern color lookup tables.
  • FilExt.com tips: If you have an MGA file, assess its structure to decide which type it is. The proper viewing and editing require the dedicated tool designed for its format. In both cases, detailed calibration or lookup settings are stored in a binary format that standard applications cannot parse.

    How to open MGA files

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