Opening a SYN File

The SYN file type is primarily associated with Synchro.

SYN	File extension: SYN
	File type:	data file

What is a SYN file?

SYN files mostly belong to Synchro. Different SYN files serve very specific tasks. They are not one single format. They can store various types of data depending on the software that created them. Below are a few key use cases:

• Traffic Simulation: These files can hold traffic models and simulation data. They are used in traffic studies where the data drives simulation tools. Learn more at Cubic Intelligent Systems.
• Mapping Data: Some SYN files are actually compressed KML files. They work with Google Earth data and related mapping applications. More details are available at Google KML.
• Synthesizer Presets: In other cases, a SYN file holds a synthesizer preset. This type of file stores settings for sound synthesis and is used with software like SynthEdit. Visit SynthEdit for reference.
• Signal Backup: There are SYN files that keep a backup of status data for the Signal messaging app. See Signal for additional info.
• Synology Configuration: Some files manage Synology NAS configuration and drive synchronization. They store operational data which supports Synology tools. More information can be found at Synology.

FilExt.com notes: This file is a data file that must be opened with its correct, associated application. A quick check with a basic text or hex editor may reveal hints of its origin. Always keep a backup before making changes.

How to open SYN files

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

How to convert a SYN file to JPG, PDF, HTML, DOC, ...

1. Just click the "Choose your .syn file to view this image" button on this page.
2. After your file is opened in browser,
3. click "Save as..." in the menu.
4. Then click the file format (e.g. PDF, JPG, DOCX, TXT, ...) you want.
5. Download the converted file.

SYN format details:

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Below is our analysis of the SYN files:

The SYN file extension is rather rarely used and includes very many different file formats. However, the following two file formats are common:

• 20% of all SYN files start with the magic bytes 0F 00 25 25 53 79 6E 63 68 72 6F 31, which are always the first bytes of this file format. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. The average file size is 80 KB with most files being between 11 KB and 220 KB in size. The file type is very recent. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as %%Synchro11.0%%, network, %%Synchro10.1%% and Salted__. These files can be linked to lexington, signal, build and peak.
• 10% of all SYN files use the ZIP format, the SYN file contains a number of compressed files. 2 to 16 compressed files are common. Common included file names are Notes.txt. A little tip: If you rename the file extension to .zip and then double-click, you will see the included files and images. The files are often between 3 KB and 47 KB in size.

All other SYN files (70%) have different formats, often e.g. FL Studio SimSynth Preset, ready, Synchro, FNYS and ZEUSSYN. Tagged as status, action, messages, special, delete, folder or check. If you want to find out what your SYN file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
