About AGF files

The .AGF extension is shared by three distinct technical formats, often causing confusion.

  1. Artlantis Graphics File (55%): Created by Abvent Artlantis, this is a 3D rendering project file containing scene geometry, textures, and lighting data. Technically, it is often a ZIP-compressed container holding XML definitions and assets. Users typically need to convert these to JPG or PNG for client presentations, or export the geometry to OBJ or SKP for use in other CAD tools like SketchUp.
  2. Zemax Glass Catalog (3%): Known as the ANSI Glass Format, this is an ASCII text file used by Ansys Zemax OpticStudio. It defines optical material properties (refractive index, transmission) for lens design. Engineers convert these to Binary Glass Format (.BGF) for performance or open them in text editors to modify material specs.
  3. Atlas Geo File (Legacy): A binary geodataset from the obsolete Atlas GIS (acquired by Esri). These "locked" legacy files are unusable in modern GIS software until converted to Shapefiles (.SHP) or KML for use in QGIS or Google Earth.

Convert.Guru analyzes your AGF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted AGT, ZIP, ENC, BTG, TABLE and NXS files.

The AGF Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our AGF converter.
