Extract text from Crash reports and fax covers (CVR)
To convert CVR Report files to another format, you need Microsoft Office or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Crash Report Data" file type, you need software like Microsoft Office or a similar tool.
The .CVR file format is primarily used by Microsoft Office as an application crash recovery file. When an application like Word or Excel unexpectedly terminates, it generates a .CVR crash report containing system state data and memory telemetry to assist in diagnostics. Alternatively, .CVR files were heavily used in the 1990s and early 2000s as fax cover pages by the now-obsolete Symantec WinFax Pro software. Occasionally, they act as version control files for legacy Corel and Quicken databases.
The main disadvantage of a .CVR file is its strictly proprietary, context-dependent nature. Modern operating systems cannot natively open a .CVR file. Microsoft's crash reports are binary telemetry files, meaning they lack the actual text of your unsaved document. Meanwhile, WinFax cover pages require 32-bit legacy software running on old Windows environments, making them incredibly difficult to access today.
Because they lack standard document structures, standard online converters completely fail to process .CVR files. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible using convert.guru. Our engine will analyze the file's binary signature to determine if it is a crash report or a legacy fax cover. If the file contains unencrypted text strings, routing details, or embedded raster image fragments, we will extract and display them, allowing you to salvage the data as a standard TXT or PDF file.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CVR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted WCVR, CBR, CDR, TMP, PDF, JPG, CBZ, TXT, PNG, DOCX, ZIP, MBSA and PPTX files.
If you want to convert CVR file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use Microsoft Office or similar software from the "Crash Recovery and Fax Covers" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to CVR, try Microsoft Office or another comparable tool in the "Crash Recovery and Fax Covers" category.
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 CVR converter.
