Convert LGI to another file type
To convert LGI circuits to another format, you need Logisim or other Data software.
Convert a file to LGI
To convert other file formats to the "Logic Circuit File" file type, you need software like Logisim or a similar tool.
About LGI files
The .LGI file extension is primarily a Logic Gate Implementation file used to store digital logic circuits. These files are typically created and managed by Logisim, an open-source educational tool used to design and simulate digital circuits. A minority of .LGI files act as Multimedia Logic Files created by Softronics software.
The main disadvantage of the .LGI format is its highly specialized nature. You cannot open these files natively in web browsers or standard image viewers to see the circuit diagrams. They require a specific desktop application to run and simulate the logic gates. This creates friction when sharing circuit designs with clients, professors, or peers, as the recipient must install the exact simulation software to view the layout.
Users typically need to convert .LGI files to standard image formats like PNG or JPG, or to PDF documents. Converting to visual formats ensures anyone can view the schematic without specialized software, although all interactive simulation capabilities are entirely lost.
Because .LGI files contain complex simulation parameters and proprietary rendering coordinates, standard online converters fail to process them. Often, only the original Logisim software can properly read or export the visual data. Our system can inspect the internal data structure, reveal underlying text, and if a supported format is detected, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LGI file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted LGLI, DIG, GCG and CIRC files.
FAQ
If you want to convert LGI file to MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV, ASF or RM, you can use Logisim or similar software from the "Digital Logic Circuit Simulation" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to LGI, try Logisim or another comparable tool in the "Digital Logic Circuit Simulation" category.
The LGI Converter Story
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 LGI converter.
