Extract text from Visual Web reports (IVWR)
To convert IVWR reports to another format, you need Infor Birst or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Business Intelligence Report" file type, you need software like Infor Birst or a similar tool.
.ivwr files are proprietary business intelligence archives functioning as either Visual Web Reports by Inforiver or Infor Visual Warehouse Reports by Infor. They store complex analytical data, dashboards, and visual layouts used for enterprise-level reporting.
These files are natively handled by specific BI platforms such as Infor Birst or Inforiver Analytics tools.
The primary disadvantage of the .ivwr format is its highly restrictive nature. It requires expensive enterprise BI software subscriptions to view or edit. Non-users cannot open these files natively, and standard web browsers do not support them, creating significant friction when sharing insights with external stakeholders.
Converting .ivwr reports to PDF or XLSX is the best workaround for sharing data universally, though interactive dashboard elements will inevitably be lost in the transition.
This is a closed, proprietary format designed specifically for the original software's ecosystem, making direct rendering and conversion extremely difficult for standard online converters. However, because .ivwr files are structurally built as ZIP archives, convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. Just drag and drop your file to see what it is and convert it if supported. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - like raw XML data or embedded images - viewing or extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your IVWR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted IVWD, IVWL and RPT files.

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 IVWR converter.
