Open MET File

MET extension files can represent various formats, some of them as follows:

Presentation Manager

As the acronym for the extension indicates, the MET file is a Metafile originally created by IBM's Presentation Manager, an OS/2 program used to create presentations.

Presentation Manager is the graphical user interface designed and introduced by IBM and Microsoft during version 1.1 of their OS / 2 operating system in 1988.

That said, the MET file can contain both raster and vector graphics, and is used by Presentation Manager as well as other industry applications as a common metafile format.
