About SVO files
The .SVO file format primarily stores raw stereo video and sensor data captured by Stereolabs ZED 3D cameras. Developers and researchers use these files to record uncompressed or lossless depth data, tracking information, and spatial mapping for computer vision applications. Additionally, .SVO files function as Sega Vector Object rhythm game assets by Sega or as game data archives in Spike Chunsoft titles.
To open or process ZED camera recordings, you must use the proprietary ZED SDK. For game asset archives, players rely on community-built extraction tools like HmfToSvo.
The primary disadvantage of the .SVO format is its extreme lack of compatibility. ZED .SVO files are enormous due to raw sensor data retention and cannot be played in standard media players or web browsers. They require specialized SDKs and high-end hardware just to process. Sega and Spike Chunsoft .SVO files are similarly locked behind proprietary game engines, making them impossible to open natively on standard operating systems.
To make these files usable, conversion is mandatory. For web viewing or video editing, convert ZED .SVO to MP4 or AVI to achieve standard playback, though this strips out the raw 3D depth metadata. For archiving or modding game files, extract the .SVO container to ZIP or native 3D mesh formats. Drop your file here to analyze and convert it securely right in your browser.

The SVO 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 SVO converter.
