What is OSG file?
The OSG file has been categorized as Developer Files. The author of this format is osg.js. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files.

How to open OSG file?
The main problem with OSGJS JSON Input is that the OSG file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open OSG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OSG file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install OSGJS
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that OSGJS is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name OSGJS in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file OSG.
Programs to open OSG file
Remember to download programs supporting OSG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OSGJS with OSG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OSG file to open in the OSGJS application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the OSG file with the OSGJS program.
Step 3. Update OSGJS to the latest version
If, however, after binding OSGJS with OSGJS JSON Input there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the osg.js website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OSG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The OSG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to OSG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OSG file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected OSG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of OSG file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OSG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use osg.js help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OSG files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the OSG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
