About VAL files

The .val file extension primarily represents Valentina or Seamly2D sewing pattern files, which utilize an XML-based structure to store clothing measurement data and vector layout instructions. While these open-source tools are powerful for fashion design, the .val format is not supported by standard image viewers, web browsers, or print shops, creating a bottleneck for users who need to share designs or print patterns on standard plotters.

Additionally, .val files may originate from VariCAD, serving as 3D/2D CAD component libraries, or exist as Microsoft User Access Logging data on Windows Servers. This ambiguity often confuses users. For sewing patterns, the best conversion workflow is transforming .val to PDF for universal printing or DXF/SVG for use in other vector software like Adobe Illustrator. For VariCAD files, converting to DWG or STEP ensures compatibility with broader engineering tools like AutoCAD.

Convert.Guru analyzes your VAL file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted PDF, PNG, DEBUG, GDB, RELOC and CS files.



The VAL 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 VAL converter.
