Extract text from KingView and Topcon files (PVG)
To convert PVG files to another format, you need KingView or other Vector Image software.
To convert other file formats to the "SCADA Interface File" file type, you need software like KingView or a similar tool.
The .PVG file extension is most frequently associated with SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, specifically serving as the vector graphic format for WellinTech KingView. These files store HMI (Human-Machine Interface) screen designs using an XML-based schema. While they contain standard text data describing shapes, gauges, and pipes for industrial dashboards, they are effectively proprietary; standard vector editors like Adobe Illustrator or web browsers cannot render the visual layout from the raw code. This creates a significant workflow bottleneck when engineers need to share interface designs with clients or document systems in manuals without requiring a licensed KingView installation.
A secondary but significant use of the format is within Topcon MAGNET Collage, where it functions as a Point Cloud View Group. In this context, the file helps organize vast sets of 3D geospatial data. Users dealing with either format often face compatibility walls - KingView files are useless outside the factory floor software, and Topcon files are unreadable without specialized surveying tools.

Convert.Guru analyzes your PVG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted SVG, PNG, JPG, JPEG, PDF, YBK, EYB and WWP files.
If you want to convert PVG file to SVG, AI, EPS, PDF, JPG, CDR, WMF, EMF, SWF, FLA, XFL or SKETCH, you can use KingView or similar software from the "Industrial HMI Vector Graphics" 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 PVG, try KingView or another comparable tool in the "Industrial HMI Vector Graphics" 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 PVG converter.
