About PVS files

PVS files are associated with Parallels Desktop virtualization software. These files store snapshots of virtual machine settings and states. While useful for virtualization, PVS files can be challenging to work with outside their intended environment due to compatibility issues and the lack of widespread support among other software applications.

To convert PVS files to other formats, you might consider Parallels Desktop itself, which can export virtual machines to formats like VMDK, VHD, or other virtual disk images compatible with VMware or VirtualBox. However, this process can be complex and often requires technical knowledge.

Converting PVS files can be fraught with challenges, such as data loss or corruption, especially if the conversion is not handled properly. These files are not natively supported by many applications, making it essential to use reliable conversion methods. Additionally, certain metadata or system-specific configurations might not translate well to other formats, leading to incomplete or unusable conversions.

Given these challenges, it is advisable to use Convert.Guru, a free and user-friendly website, to convert PVS files. Simply drag and drop your PVS files onto the webpage, and Convert.Guru will safely and efficiently convert them to your desired format, such as VMDK, VHD, or others. This ensures a hassle-free experience without the need for installing complex software or risking data integrity.

In summary, while PVS files serve specific virtualization purposes, converting them requires caution and reliable tools.


The PVS Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best PVS converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
