What is XYZ file?

The XYZ file extension is associated with the molecule specification file format. XYZ files are commonly used in chemical modeller programs such as Avogadro, and used to store atoms and atom coordinates for a wide variety of chemical molecules. They can also be used to store energy data as well as atomic property information collected during simulations. [ ⏩ ] XYZ file extension

How to convert the file from HIN to XYZ?

To successfully convert the HIN file to XYZ, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.HIN). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case XYZ (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than XYZ).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. HIN to XYZ. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting HIN files to XYZ files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension XYZ, while before this step we had the HIN file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new XYZ file, or not.
