What is an SHOW file?

SHOW files mostly belong to Show by Hancom. SHOW files are documents created by Show, a program included in the Hancom Office used to create presentations.

Main Usage: The SHOW file extension is used by documents which contain slide data for a presentation. This can include data such as text, shapes, and images included in the slides, as well as themes and formatting used in the presentation.
Compatibility: The primary program used to open SHOW files is Show. The presentation software is available for most popular operating systems, including Windows, MacOS, and Linux, as well as mobile devices including IOS and Android. The program is also compatible with other presentation formats, such as ODT and PPTX files. However, other popular presentation software cannot open SHOW files, as these files use a proprietary format.
Similar extensions: The SHOW extension is similar to other formats which save presentation slides, such as ODT files used by the Apache OpenOffice suite, or PPTX files used by Microsoft PowerPoint.

How can I open an SHOW file?

SHOW file format:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Our examination of the SHOW files comes to the following conclusion:

The SHOW extension is quite commonly used. The file itself mainly uses a defined SHOW format. The two most common formats are as follows:

85% of all SHOW files use ZIP compression, that is, an SHOW file includes multiple compressed files. Primarily 44 to 150 files are included. File names inside are always [Content_Types].xml, \_rels\.rels, \docProps\app.xml, \docProps\core.xml, \docProps\thumbnail.jpeg, \ppt\_rels\presentation.xml.rels, \ppt\media\image1.jpeg, \ppt\media\image1.png, \ppt\presProps.xml, \ppt\presentation.xml, \ppt\slideLayouts\slideLayout1.xml, \ppt\tableStyles.xml and \ppt\viewProps.xml. If you'd like to see the images and files included, just rename the file extension to .zip and double-click. Most of these files are 110 KB to 13 MB in size. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as ppt/slideLayouts/_rels/slideLayout1.xml.relsUT. Files like these are sometimes connected to windows, task, game, writing, introduction, beta and week.
10% of all SHOW files start with the bytes MA DATA crucial for this file format. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. The files are on average 5 MB in size and range from 1 MB to 58 MB. The keywords MA DATA and Showfile are typical for these files. Files like these are sometimes connected to showfile.

All other SHOW files (5%) have no uniform format. Often described as video. Just click the "Choose your .show file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your SHOW file is.
