Extract text from Overlay Maker packages (OVP)
To convert OVP packages to another format, you need The Overlay Maker or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Package File" file type, you need software like The Overlay Maker or a similar tool.
The .OVP file is an Overlay Maker Package File used by The Overlay Maker software. It stores layout designs, images, and configuration settings used to create custom physical or digital overlays, typically for specialized accessibility keyboards like the IntelliKeys system.
Historically developed by IntelliTools, this software is now highly niche and mostly legacy. Users need to convert these files because .OVP is a closed, proprietary package format. You cannot open these files on modern web browsers, standard image viewers, or mobile devices. This requires users to either maintain a legacy system or pay for specialized software just to view old designs.
Because of these limitations, the best conversion targets are ZIP (to extract the raw assets), PNG (for images), or TXT (for configuration data). Direct conversion to a fully functional layout is usually impossible, so interactivity will be lost.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert because only the original software can properly read or export the structured data. Our platform can inspect the internal content and, if our analysis detects a supported underlying embedded format like hidden images or standard compression, viewing or extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your OVP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted WEBP files.
If you want to convert OVP file to SVG, AI, EPS, PDF, JPG, CDR, WMF, EMF, SWF, FLA, XFL or SKETCH, you can use The Overlay Maker or similar software from the "Accessibility Overlay Design Package" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert AFPUB, EPS, FIG, VSD, SKETCH, VDX, AFPHOTO, PDF, AFDESIGN, SVG, VSDX or AI files to OVP, try The Overlay Maker or another comparable tool in the "Accessibility Overlay Design Package" 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 OVP converter.
