Convert UV2 to another file type
To convert UV2 projects to another format, you need Keil uVision2 or other Developer software.
Convert a file to UV2
To convert other file formats to the "IDE Project File" file type, you need software like Keil uVision2 or a similar tool.
About UV2 files
The .uv2 file is a legacy project configuration file created by the Keil $\mu$Vision2 Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It is primarily used by engineers to develop and manage embedded systems and microcontroller applications. These files orchestrate the build process by storing compiler settings, toolchain configurations, and directory paths for source code.\n\nUsers typically open these files using the Keil Microcontroller Development Kit (MDK). The main disadvantage of the .uv2 format is its proprietary, legacy nature. It is bound to an outdated version of the IDE and does not actually contain your C, CPP, or ASM source code - it only points to them. If you move your project folder, the hardcoded paths break, rendering the file useless. Furthermore, it requires a specialized, commercial software environment just to read its intended structure.\n\nWhen migrating old hardware projects, users often need to convert .uv2 files into modern .uvproj (uVision4) or uvprojx (uVision5) formats. If you only need to recover lost configuration data, extracting it to TXT is the safest option. Because this is a closed, proprietary format, standard online converters fail to process it. Only the original software can properly read or export the complex build data. However, just drag and drop your .uv2 file to convert.guru to identify the format, view its internal text-based configuration, and convert it when possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your UV2 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert UV2 file to DWG, DXF, DGN, RVT, RFA, SKP, 3DM, STEP, IGES, SAT, X_T or X_B, you can use Keil uVision2 or similar software from the "Embedded IDE Project Management" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SLDASM, DGN, PRT, IAM, X_B, CATPRODUCT, SLDPRT, RVT, ASM, DWG, CATPART or DXF files to UV2, try Keil uVision2 or another comparable tool in the "Embedded IDE Project Management" category.
The UV2 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 UV2 converter.
