If you are someone who always prefers something other than the default app to open a certain file type, then you employ one of the two methods below to make your life easier.

Now, every time you open that particular file type, you will be directed to the app that you have chosen here.
Change default app using “Get info”
By doing so, every time you open that particular file type, it will open in the application that you have chosen. If you want to open all files with the same format on that particular app, choose Change All before closing the window. Open any file with the app of your choice! With the methods mentioned above, I have made sure to help you open any file with the app of your choice. But remember that you can only open the files supported by these apps.
