What is a HF file?
A .HF file is most commonly a ground penetrating radar scan created by the Hilti PS 1000 system. Construction professionals use these files with Hilti PROFIS Detection Systems to analyze concrete structures.
However, the .HF extension is also used for several other formats. It can be a Mobizen screen recording video (which is essentially an .MP4 file), a game data package for Valve Corporation games like Half-Life or Heroes of the Storm, or a Huffman compressed data file. It is also used as a Samsung Secure Folder headerless .JPG file or a HyperFileSQL Classic database file.
How to open HF files?
To open a Hilti radar scan, you need the official Hilti PROFIS Detection software. If your file is a video from the Mobizen app, you can usually rename the file extension to .MP4 and open it with VLC media player.
Because .HF has multiple possible meanings, it is easy to use the wrong software. viewer.online/hf analyzes .HF files to identify their exact format and creator software, shows which programs can open the file, and usually previews it.
Best practices and troubleshooting
Always check where the file came from. If the file came from a smartphone recording, it is likely a video. If it came from a construction site scanner, it is a radar scan. Game mods and satellite receivers also use this extension for their data.
If you need to change the file format, we recommend convert.guru. You can easily convert .HF video files to standard .MP4 or convert image-based files to .JPG.
Summary
viewer.online/hf directly opens and previews .HF files in the browser, eliminating the need to install software or troubleshoot compatibility issues.
