About OVS files

The .OVS file is primarily a proprietary game asset used by titles like Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo, developed by Frontier Developments. These files typically store highly compressed 3D object data, models, or environments utilizing zlib compression and sometimes OpenVDB volumetric data structures. A secondary, completely unrelated use for the .OVS extension is an Ogg Vorbis audio stream governed by the Xiph.Org Foundation, often manipulated via command-line processors like SoX. Users frequently need to convert game asset .OVS files to standard 3D formats like OBJ or FBX for community modding, external rendering, or editing within tools like Blender. For the audio variant, conversion to MP3 or WAV is highly sought after because .OVS is not supported by mobile devices, web browsers, or most commercial audio software. The core disadvantage of the game asset variant is its closed-source nature; it is locked to a specific game engine and requires reverse-engineering tools to unpack. Because it lacks official public documentation, standard online converters fail to read the internal geometry.

Convert.Guru analyzes your OVS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted OVL, PRK, XBX and NSB files.
