Extract text from KVA files
To convert your KVA file to another format, you need Kinovea or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Motion Analysis XML" file type, you need software like Kinovea or a similar tool.
The .KVA extension is most frequently generated by Kinovea, a free and open-source video analysis solution used by sports coaches and medical professionals. A .KVA file is strictly an XML-formatted data file that stores analysis metadata - such as chronometers, trajectory paths, keyframe tags, and drawings - that overlay a separate video file.
Crucially, a .KVA file does not contain the video itself. A common point of frustration is sharing a .KVA file with a colleague who cannot open it because they lack the original source video (e.g., .MP4, .AVI) or the Kinovea software installed on their machine. Furthermore, because the file is raw XML, attempting to "play" it in a standard media player like VLC will fail.
To make this data accessible or usable outside the specific analysis environment, users often need to convert .KVA files. For statistical analysis of motion data, the best target formats are CSV (Comma-Separated Values) or XLSX (Microsoft Excel), allowing the numeric data to be processed in spreadsheet software. For sharing the visual analysis without requiring specific software, the data must be "burned" into the video, effectively converting the project to a standard MP4 or MKV video file.
Secondary uses of the .KVA extension include exception log files for Kingsoft Antivirus and power analysis reports for Itron MV-90 xi software. These are typically proprietary text or database dumps. For these legacy or system files, converting to TXT or PDF is the most practical solution for archiving and viewing contents without the original utility.
Convert.Guru analyzes your KVA file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted KVB, KVAG, KV, FLA, XPT, MPH, SAM, HP, MW and VA files.
If you want to convert KVA file to HP, MW or VA, you can use Kinovea or similar software from the "Video Motion Analysis Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to KVA, try Kinovea or another comparable tool in the "Video Motion Analysis Data" 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 KVA converter.
