Just to add 😎


Permanently change the app used to open all files of a particular type


  1. On your Mac, click the Finder icon  in the Dock to open a Finder window.
  2. Select a file, then choose File > Get Info.
  3. You can also Control-click the file, then choose Get Info.
  4. In the Info window, click the arrow  next to “Open with.”
  5. Click the pop-up menu, choose an app, then click Change All.
  6. Note: Don’t click Change All if you only want the specific file you selected to open with that app.
