Extract text from VEC files
To convert your VEC file to another format, you need fastText or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Machine Learning Model" file type, you need software like fastText or a similar tool.
The .vec extension is a polysemous file format primarily serving two distinct high-technical fields: Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computer Aided Design (CAD). Most commonly, it represents a Word Vector Model used by Facebook's fastText library. These files contain pre-trained word embeddings stored in a plain text format, where each line represents a word followed by its vector values. While human-readable, these text-based models are inefficient for production environments due to slow loading times and large file sizes (often gigabytes). Users frequently need to convert these to binary formats like BIN or use Python libraries like Gensim to serialize them for faster access.
Alternatively, in the design world, a .vec file may be a legacy or proprietary Vector Graphic generated by software such as DataCAD, IDRISI (GIS), or OpenCV (for object detection training samples). These graphical files are problematic because they are often locked to specific ecosystem versions and are not natively supported by standard viewers like web browsers or Adobe Illustrator. To make these assets usable for web publishing, printing, or archiving, users must convert them to standard interoperable formats. For graphical data, converting to SVG ensures scalability on the web, DXF allows for CAD interchange, and PDF provides a stable format for viewing and archiving.
Convert.Guru analyzes your VEC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted VCE, PDF, XMIND, PNG, DRL, DDB and 85V files.
If you want to convert VEC file to SHP, KML, KMZ, GPX, GEOJSON, TOPOJSON, TIF, TIFF, ECW, SID, IMG or DEM, you can use fastText or similar software from the "Word Vector Model" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert LAZ, KMZ, DTM, CSV, DEM, PRJ, LAS, GPX, DSM, SHP, DBF or KML files to VEC, try fastText or another comparable tool in the "Word Vector Model" category.
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 VEC converter.
