Extract text from DIALux projects and HD videos (EVO)
To convert EVO projects and videos to another format, you need DIALux evo or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "Lighting Design Project" file type, you need software like DIALux evo or a similar tool.
An .EVO file is primarily a lighting design project created by DIALux evo, the industry-standard software for photometric planning. These files store intricate 3D building geometries, luminaire catalogs, and complex ray-tracing calculations. Secondarily, the extension was used by the DVD Forum for Enhanced Video Objects, an obsolete high-definition video container from the defunct HD DVD format. Finally, a small percentage of .EVO files are used for scientific simulation data in Ansys EnSight.
Sharing a raw DIALux .EVO file is notoriously frustrating. The format is a heavy, proprietary container. Clients, architects, and Mac users cannot open these files without installing the resource-intensive, Windows-only DIALux desktop software. Relying on raw project files often results in "missing luminaire" errors or software version conflicts. Similarly, legacy HD DVD .EVO video files are a playback nightmare, as modern smart TVs and media players lack the outdated codecs required to decode them.
To bypass these software limitations, conversion is essential. Drop your file here to analyze and convert it securely right in your browser. For client presentations and archiving, convert DIALux projects to PDF to lock in your calculation reports. For editing and CAD integration, export to DWG or DXF to import lighting layouts directly into AutoCAD, or use IFC for BIM workflows in Revit. If you are dealing with legacy HD DVD video files, transcode them to MP4 or MKV for flawless web streaming and universal playback across all modern devices.

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 EVO converter.
