2 different formats have claimed .seq over the years, so two files with the same extension aren't necessarily the same kind of thing.

How to open a .seq file

  • The program that created it is by far the most reliable way to open it.
  • On Windows, use a hex viewer or the free TrID tool to identify what the file really is.
  • On Mac or Linux, running `file yourfile` in the terminal identifies most formats instantly.

The registry records this extension against STAD PAC File, Cyber Paint Sequence, so software from that family is the most likely match.

How to convert a .seq file

  • Identify the file first, then look for an export or Save As option in whatever program can read it.
