About VI files
The .vi file extension is predominantly associated with LabVIEW Virtual Instrument files developed by National Instruments. These files contain graphical programming code (known as G code) consisting of a 'Front Panel' user interface and a 'Block Diagram' containing the underlying dataflow logic. Alternatively, .vi files can be proprietary video files recorded by legacy JVC Everio camcorders. The primary disadvantage of the LabVIEW .vi format is extreme vendor lock-in. The files are highly proprietary, binary, and require an expensive, heavy LabVIEW environment to simply view or edit. They are not human-readable text, making standard version control systems struggle. For the JVC video variant, the file is often an MPEG-2 stream wrapped in an unrecognized extension, meaning standard web browsers and mobile devices cannot play it natively. To break free from these limitations, conversion is necessary. For LabVIEW .vi files, exporting the visual code to PDF or PNG is best for archiving and sharing logic with non-developers, while migrating software logic requires manual translation to C or PY. If dealing with a JVC video, convert to MP4 (H.264) for web streaming and universal mobile playback, or MKV for archiving. Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your VI file.
If you want to convert VI file to EXE, MP4, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF or DAT, you can use LabVIEW or similar software from the "Visual Programming Source Code" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to VI, try LabVIEW or another comparable tool in the "Visual Programming Source Code" category.
The VI 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 VI converter.
