Open MOFF File

MOFF format and extension files are management files used by PlayMemories Home.

PlayMemories is a video and photo service in the Sony cloud, used to manage and synchronize the photos stored on your smartphone and your computer at the same time.

PlayMemories uses the MOFF format to manage images in offline mode.

The MOFF files contain information necessary to manage the images, such as the date and time or information about GPS or recording, therefore this file should not be ignored, nor edited, much less deleted.

The cases where MOFF files are present are when importing MP4 movies from an Action Cam equipped with GPS function and when viewing videos on PlayMemories Home.

If you move or delete MOFF files in PlayMemories Home, the related management files will also be moved or deleted.

When backing up, these management files must also be included, so please back up by folders.

MOFF files are not compatible with any other software and manual opening is not recommended. Therefore the only suitable software package for working with MOFF files is:

PlayMemories

It is important to note that Sony has announced the end of the distribution of the PlayMemories Online service as of July 28, 2021.
