Convert Saved data files (SAV) online for free
The converter easily converts your SAV Save files to various formats - free and online. No IBM SPSS or or other Data software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "SPSS Dataset & Save" file type, you need software like IBM SPSS or a similar tool.
The .sav file extension primarily represents two completely different types of data: SPSS Statistical Data Files and Video Game Save Files. In the academic and corporate sectors, a .SAV file stores datasets, survey responses, and statistical analyses created by IBM SPSS Statistics. In the gaming world, a .sav file holds player progress, inventory, and world states for video games built on Unreal Engine, Unity, or older console emulators like the Nintendo DS and GameCube. Developers also occasionally use the extension for serialized machine learning models exported from the Scikit-learn Python library.
Working with .SAV files is notoriously frustrating. For statistical files, the format is highly proprietary. If you send an SPSS file to a colleague who does not have an expensive IBM subscription, they are completely locked out of the data. Game save files present a similar roadblock: they are typically compressed using GZIP or zlib, making them unreadable in standard text editors. Trying to modify a game save manually without proper decompression usually corrupts the file permanently.
To bypass these strict limitations, converting the file is the best approach. For statistical data, convert .SAV to CSV or XLSX so anyone can analyze the data in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. If you are dealing with game saves, converting .SAV to JSON allows you to edit variables safely.

Users also converted SPV, SAVE, ZIP, CSV, SPS, TXT, PDF, SA, XLSX, DTA, SRM, PAK and BIN files.
If you want to convert SAV file to SRM, PDF, DSV, JSON, XLSX, DTA, BAK, BACKUP, OLD, TMP or TEMP, you can use IBM SPSS or similar software from the "Statistical Data & Game Saves" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SNAPSHOT, OLD, IMG, RESTORE, ISO, COPY, VMDK, TMP, VHD, BAK, ARCHIVE or BACKUP files to SAV, try IBM SPSS or another comparable tool in the "Statistical Data & Game Saves" 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 SAV converter.
