The Quick Way to Open Files with HGL Extension

Different software packages use different file extensions, so if you can't open the HGL file, it could be because:

  • You don't have the associated software on your computer (HP Graphics Language and DN Highlight Groups Definition are the most popular software packages that use HGL file).

  • You may have HP Graphics Language or DN Highlight Groups Definition but your computer is not configured to associate HGL files with the relevant software.

  • The file is corrupt.
