About PSV files
A .PSV file is a multi-purpose extension most commonly acting as a Pipe Separated Values data file, a proprietary PlayStation game save, or an encrypted offline video for Pluralsight. For data applications, companies like Salesforce Commerce Cloud and Geoscape Australia use it to export databases because the pipe character rarely conflicts with internal text data. You can open these data files using Microsoft Excel or text editors. However, the format has significant disadvantages. Operating systems rarely associate .PSV with spreadsheet software by default. Pluralsight video variations require an expensive subscription and strict DRM authorization to play. PlayStation game saves are proprietary binary blobs tied to specific consoles or emulators like ePSXe, rendering them useless outside of their narrow ecosystem. For standard data interchange, you should immediately convert pipe-delimited .PSV files to CSV, XLSX, or JSON to ensure compatibility across all modern applications. Unfortunately, this format is highly fragmented and notoriously difficult to convert automatically. Video and game save versions are locked down and often only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported plain text or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be seamlessly achieved.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PSV file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert PSV file to PS2, CSV, PSU, MAX, MCR, VME, MCD, MP4, PDF, DWG, DXF or DGN, you can use Microsoft Excel or similar software from the "Delimited Data & Game Saves" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

The PSV 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 PSV converter.
