About DSV files

The .DSV extension primarily refers to Delimiter-Separated Values files, a structured text format similar to CSV but often using characters other than commas (like pipes | or colons) to separate data fields. While efficient for raw data storage, these files frequently cause frustration because standard spreadsheet tools like Microsoft Excel may not automatically detect the correct separator, resulting in jumbled rows. Additionally, the extension is heavily overloaded: it is widely used for Indonesian Tax Data (e-SPT) exports, Dyson Sphere Program game saves, and DeSmuME emulator states. This ambiguity makes opening a .DSV file a gamble without the right software.

For data-based .DSV files, the best workflow is converting them to CSV or XLSX for easy editing and analysis in spreadsheet software. For archiving tax records or creating non-editable reports, converting to PDF is recommended to ensure the layout remains fixed across devices. If you possess a binary game save file (like those from Dyson Sphere Program), these are generally proprietary and must be loaded directly into the specific game engine, as converting them to text formats will result in corrupted data.

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