What is a TSV file?
Files with the .TSV extension contain data arranged in a table, the columns of which are separated by tab characters, saved in text form. It is similar to the CSV format, where columns are separated by commas instead of tabs.
TSV files are used to transfer data between different programs. They can be easily read - even using a simple text editor or Microsoft Word. You can import a TSV file using virtually any spreadsheet program - as well as export an existing table to this format.

How to open TSV files
If you cannot open the TSV file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports TSV among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the TSV file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the TSV format files
The inability to open and operate the TSV file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Tab Separated Values Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a TSV file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the TSV file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the TSV from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the TSV format
- The TSV file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the TSV file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a TSV file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the TSV file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the TSV file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the TSV file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.TSV) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected TSV file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the TSV file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. TSV) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
