MGL files are associated with MosASCII M2, a Microsoft Windows tool that converts images into HTML mosaics made from ASCII characters.
An MGL file stores data used by MosASCII M2 and its graphics library. It is an application-specific data file, not a standalone image intended for use in ordinary graphics programs.
Open the file with MosASCII M2 on Microsoft Windows. The program is the appropriate application for reading its MGL data.
Generic image viewers and web browsers are unlikely to open an MGL file because it is not a standard image format.
MGL is an application-specific MosASCII data format, so it cannot generally be converted with ordinary image-conversion software.
Use MosASCII M2 to work with the data and produce its HTML ASCII-art output.
