Extract text from TeamViewer recordings (TVF)
To convert TVF recordings to another format, you need TeamViewer or other Video software.
To convert other file formats to the "Session Recording File" file type, you need software like TeamViewer or a similar tool.
The .TVF file extension typically represents either a proprietary remote session video recording from TeamViewer or specialized scientific data from laboratory equipment. When used by TeamViewer, the file captures screen activity during remote support sessions. This is a closed, proprietary video format designed for extreme compression rather than broad compatibility. It lacks standard video headers, meaning common media players like VLC cannot open it.
Alternatively, in laboratory environments, .TVF files store TriVista spectroscopy data for S&I GmbH or HORIBA instruments, or microplate reader data for Tecan Magellan software. Interestingly, these scientific variations are often standard XML or TIFF files disguised with a custom extension. LED Studio software also utilizes .TVF files for LED display video configurations, while the Textadept code editor uses them for variable files.
Users frequently need to convert .TVF files to share TeamViewer recordings with clients or to parse laboratory data in standard spreadsheet software. The primary disadvantage of the format is its fragmented usage and proprietary nature. Standard online converters fail to process .TVF files because they cannot decode the TeamViewer codec and cannot distinguish between a video file and an XML data file.
For TeamViewer files, the best conversion target is AVI or MP4, but this usually requires the original TeamViewer software to execute the export. For scientific files, targets like CSV, XML, or JPG are ideal. Just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Our system inspects the file headers to determine its true nature. If our analysis detects a supported underlying format like XML or TIFF, viewing or conversion may still be possible without the original software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TVF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted GPX, OVE and GFT files.

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 TVF converter.
