How to extract text from your V3D file
- Click the "Select File" button above, and choose your V3D file.
- You’ll see a preview, if available.
- Click the "Convert file to..." button to extract text information.

About V3D files
The .V3D file extension primarily represents 3D ground scan data generated by metal detectors and geophysical instruments manufactured by OKM Ortungstechnik. These files contain volumetric sensor data recording underground anomalies, such as cavities, tunnels, or buried artifacts. A major drawback of .V3D files is their proprietary nature; they are designed exclusively for the OKM Visualizer 3D software suite. Users often find themselves unable to share these scans with colleagues or clients who lack the specific expensive software license, and the raw data is not natively compatible with standard CAD tools like AutoCAD or Blender. Furthermore, simulation engineers may encounter .V3D files acting as vehicle or infrastructure models within PTV Vissim traffic simulations, while CNC operators might see them as 3D reliefs in Vectric Aspire.
To overcome these compatibility barriers, converting the file is often necessary. For 3D printing or further analysis in generic modeling software, users should target mesh formats like OBJ or STL. For archiving scan results or presenting findings to non-technical stakeholders, converting the visualization to PDF or high-resolution PNG images is recommended to bypass the need for a specialized viewer.
Convert.Guru analyzes your V3D file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted V3DS, PDF, OBJ, H5, CSV, CMT, SMD and GEOPCDX files.
The V3D 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 V3D converter.
