Sometimes you just need to see what is in the NEF file, without having to perform more complicated operations. Then do not install dedicated software and use tools such as NEF Viewer. Such a program allows us only to display the contents of the NEF file. To view the content of the NEF file you can use several options:

By choosing the option to install dedicated software, you will also be able to e.g. edit the NEF file and sometimes even convert the NEF file.
First of all, you need to know that you need to install specific software that supports NEF files on your computer. Unfortunately, it is not possible to see the NEF file online in this case. Here you will need more time to use this solution, but you will also have more options. You can find some examples of dedicated software below, and the full list is here NEF File Opener
If you haven't been able to preview the contents of the NEF file yet, or you don't want to install any dedicated programming to handle these files, you can try something else. A large proportion of the data formats are simply archives or plain text files. In this case, it is likely that you will be able to view the contents of NEF with a normal "Notepad". This solution does not guarantee that the problem will be solved, but it will often allow you to view the data in the NEF file to some extent.
As in the case of Notepad, you can also use the data archiving program. Try to open your file with e.g. Winrar or Winzip. If your NEF file belongs to the archived files category, you will see a list of files inside the archive. To get information about what kind of data it is, go to the subpage with information about the NEF file extension.
