Extract text from ooVoo log files (OVOLOG)
To convert OVOLOG logs to another format, you need ooVoo or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Application Log File" file type, you need software like ooVoo or a similar tool.
The .ovolog file is a diagnostic or chat history log generated by the discontinued ooVoo video chat application. These files typically store connection data, error reports, call timestamps, and occasionally text messaging histories.
Historically, these files were created and managed directly by the ooVoo desktop client for Windows or macOS. Since the service shut down in 2017, official support is nonexistent. Users usually encounter these files when digging through old backups and want to recover past conversations or system data.
The primary disadvantage of the .ovolog format is that it relies on a dead ecosystem. Standard text editors might struggle if the log contains proprietary binary encoding or database structures rather than plain text. The best conversion targets are readable formats like TXT, CSV, or PDF. Converting to these formats ensures the historical data remains accessible on modern devices without requiring the original software.
Because .ovolog is a closed, proprietary log format tied to dead software, traditional online converters often fail to process it. Originally, only the ooVoo software was designed to interpret the specific event codes.
Convert.Guru analyzes your OVOLOG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert OVOLOG file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use ooVoo or similar software from the "Application Log and Chat History" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to OVOLOG, try ooVoo or another comparable tool in the "Application Log and Chat History" 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 OVOLOG converter.
