About CVI files

CVI files are often associated with LabWindows/CVI, a development environment from National Instruments that focuses on building applications for test and measurement. These files typically contain source code or compiled programs. However, their specialized nature means they can be challenging to work with outside their intended environment.

Converting CVI files to more accessible formats like .txt or .pdf is essential for users who need to share or archive these files without using the original software. You can achieve this conversion using software like Adobe Acrobat for PDF output or Notepad++ for text files.

While converting, consider the potential loss of format-specific features, such as code annotations or debugging information, which may not translate well into simpler formats. The conversion process can be cumbersome and requires careful handling to avoid data corruption. More details on CVI files can be found on Wikipedia.

Despite these challenges, using a reliable service like Convert.Guru ensures a smooth conversion process. By simply dragging and dropping your CVI files onto the website, you can convert them to a variety of formats effortlessly. This service mitigates many of the drawbacks associated with CVI files, providing an easy and effective solution for users who need to work with different file formats.

Remember to consider the intended use of the converted files and choose the output format that best preserves the necessary data.


The CVI Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best CVI converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
