What type of file is it?

However, you can look up the file type to be sure. Start by right-clicking the file icon and clicking “Properties” (“More Info” if you’re on a Mac). Then look for the file type under “Type of File” (“Kind” on a Mac).

Can I use a universal file viewer?

Remember that if your file is not compatible, the universal file viewer will only open it in binary format.
