Extract text from Samsung video files (SVI)
To convert SVI videos to another format, you need SVL Injector or other Video software.
To convert other file formats to the "Portable Media Format" file type, you need software like SVL Injector or a similar tool.
The .SVI file extension is highly fragmented and serves multiple distinct purposes. Most commonly, it is a VPN tunneling configuration file used by the SVL Injector app to manage Shadowsocks proxies. Alternatively, it is a legacy Samsung Video File format built on the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF), primarily found on obsolete Samsung portable media players.
The Samsung .SVI format suffers from severe compatibility issues. It is essentially an AVI container encumbered by a proprietary header designed exclusively for legacy Samsung hardware. As a result, you cannot play it natively on modern operating systems, web browsers, or smartphones. Even robust desktop software like the VLC media player frequently fails to decode the file. On the other hand, the SVL Injector .SVI files are proprietary configuration scripts that lock you into using a specific tunneling app, making network migrations frustrating.
To overcome these limitations, conversion is mandatory. For legacy videos, converting .SVI to MP4 (using the H.264 codec) ensures seamless playback on mobile devices and web browsers. For long-term video archiving, MKV is recommended to preserve the original quality without device lock-in. If you are handling SVL configurations or the rare ZIP-based Sage Visualis database variants, converting or extracting them to TXT or ZIP unlocks the raw data. Just drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.

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 SVI converter.
