What is a MYSTERY file?

MYSTERY files mostly belong to XnViewMP. The MYSTERY file extension can refer to two distinct types of files.
For many of these files, the data is stored as a PNG image. In this case the file contains a compressed Atari Portfolio image that is handled by applications such as XnViewMP. You can open these files using an image viewer that supports PNG formats.
Other MYSTERY files use the ELF format, which stands for Executable and Linkable Format. These are binary files used to run programs on Unix-like systems. For more details on ELF files, check out this webpage.
  • Use a file header inspection tool to check if the file begins with a PNG or ELF signature.
  • If it’s an image, open it with compatible software like XnViewMP.
  • If it’s an ELF executable, use an appropriate Linux environment or binary analysis tool.
  • How can I open a MYSTERY file?

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