MAT files store the variables and matrices of a MATLAB session. Created by MathWorks. A MAT-file saves your whole MATLAB workspace to reload later. Since version 7.3, MAT-files are built on the HDF5 scientific data format so they can hold variables larger than two gigabytes. MAT-files are made by MathWorks’ MATLAB and store named variables and matrices that can be reloaded into a later session.

How do I open a .MAT file?

Drop a .MAT file onto Analyser at https://lab.valjdakosta.com/ and it opens directly in your browser - no upload, no account and no software to install. Open Unity game-engine assets in the browser. Unity serialises scenes (.unity), prefabs, Animator Controllers (.controller), animation clips (.anim), materials (.mat), physics materials (.physicsMaterial2D) and other assets (.asset) as a YAML object stream, with a .meta importer record (carrying the asset GUID) beside every file. Analyser splits the object documents and reads each - a scene's GameObjects and component-type breakdown (Transform, SpriteRenderer, colliders, scripts), an animation's sample rate and curves, a controller's layers and states, a material's friction and bounciness, and a .meta's GUID and importer.

Can I open a .MAT file online for free?

Yes. Analyser is a free online .MAT opener and viewer that runs entirely in your browser - your .MAT file never leaves your device, so there is nothing to upload and no software to install. It even works offline once installed.
