How to open HIN files
Did your computer fail to open a HIN file? We explain what HIN files are and recommend software that we know can open or convert your files.
What is a HIN file?
HIN files are HyperChem molecule format files, which you can read more about below.
The HIN file extension indicates to your device which app can open the file. However, different apps may use the same file extension for different types of data. So a HIN opener may not be able to open all kinds of HIN files. In this case, though, we only know of one specific use.
